 Doodling with PhotoShop.

Front end of an old VW camper parked on the street. The sun was right behind me, so I couldn't avoid getting my own shadow in the shot. I stood as far to the side as I could, and this is what I got. My hands and camera have become a design element! ;-P

The overlay is the shot of the palm trees a couple of days ago. The girl's profile is a shameless rip-off of Jutilda's idea of the Pre-Raphaelite brush. I found a profile I liked and made my own brush.

Later... Igot to looking at this and given the size of the VW logo, I changed the name of the shot from Déjà Vu.

LOL. I didn't realize it when I posted this, but Kelli is right -- it is the 50 Foot Volkswagen. It kind of looks like it's floating in the Big Green Universe.

I really like the way you did this. I can feel that the VW is is california or florida with the overlay. Very nice.

This is very odd and very intriguing and I can see it as a print. And with a cell phone no less! VERY creative.

Love the fact you included a previous shot as an overlay. I'm going to do a shot for this challenge using the same concept.

When I saw the thumbnail I was wondering how you got a VW symbol that big ;) Very nice mix of the two. I like the choice of contrasting colors and the saturation level!
