Ok, I really went to town on this image. And got a little obsessed. Base image of hot tub bathers from a Sept. trip up the coast (this hot tub is from Post Ranch Inn and is in a TV ad currently running!). Overlays of birds from a whale watching trip in San Diego. Clouds/Fog from a sky shot in Vegas. "Moon" is actually harvested from this image.
Added some "galaxy" filter from Flaming Pear.
And then I discovered brushes... Added bubbles, stars, snowflakes. I wanted to add a glowing swirl somewhere but I don't think it would improved the shot.
I was going for a "transported to a magical, mythical place" feeling. I hope I got it, and that it's not too "dark"...
Heh, girl, you're speaking my language now. Isn't it fun to get lost in this fantasy? I love the birds. Love the little twinkles. I'm with roz. Can we all go there??
