Used one layer (duplicated and flipped to become symmetrical) from one template of Lynn Grieveson's Fade Out and Torn Templates as a mask. Used this soft edge on top shape instead of a hard edge rectangle for clipping.

I followed the tutorial in the challenge post. Photo extends to the top of the letters in HAWAII. The only difference is the upper edge is soft instead of hard. I didn't care so much for my attempts with the hard edge shape with this photo. I can post that one if this is not acceptable.

The Chesterton quote on the bottom is merely P22 Cezanne font in orange sampled from photograph.




And here is the version with the hard edge font and image:

The hard edge one meets the challenge requirements! Thanks for uploading that one for me! Both are gorgeous!
 
This one took a few tries, mainly because as soon as I saw the challenge I thought oh, how easy. Which it was, once I thought to leave a few extra pixels on the bottom of the photo :-D
Great challenge, great fun.

RJMJ I will help you so you can complete the challenge.

@RJMJ It is really very simple.. don't get scared.

With any software you are using make a rectangle. Fill in with color. On your next layer in a good chunky font write your title. Adhere that next to and touching the rectangle so they are one. Merge them together. Now take your photo and place above your new shape created from the rectangle and the word and place over it and use the shapeword as a cookie cutter for your photo. Once you have done all that, decorate your page as normal.
