Fishing by Fire

WOW!!!  I haven't used that exclamation in a long time!  But this is amazing!  I love the effect, which actually looks like flames lapping up around the boat.  The silhouette is really effective here as well.   How did you do this?

Excellent. The best thing I've seen is a long while.

I started off by working on a sunflower picture, with a texture from the chiminera we have.  I wasn't happy with the way it was turning out, so I added a fishing boat picture that I made look like a silouette.  Finally, I also overlaid a picture of soap running down the car window from a carwash.  There are four images in this composition.  I couldn't give you specifics on exactly what I did because I used the un-do button several times.  Lots of layers in here!!!

Thanks.....I get the idea at least.  Your PS skills certainly are impressive.  I can't wait until I have more 'tools' at my disposal.  My computer with my (primitive) photo editing program crashed, so I haven't been able to do anything.  I need to research and buy a new computer.  Then I can install the CS4 program and Lightroom 2 Programs I have.  Can't wait!  But there are a few things getting in the way.......an upcoming 3-week trip to the Pacific NW and rehabbing 2 houses that seems to be taking all of my 'free' time these days.  I miss posting on PN, but I'll get back to it eventually!  BTW.....I'm marking this as a favorite!

Thanks, Christal!  Photoshop is fun!  I love using it almost as much as I do taking the pictures in the first place.  :)

Beautiful image and very creative light here and composition, wishing you all of the best.

Very Very Nice Kim! I really like this!!! Enjoyed reading your process!!  Best Wishes Andrea

It is a very long time....But I was attracted to this one, which is very unusual. Reading your explanation, your skills are really well developed. Fire and water( boat) what a contrast. Very well executed.

I hope you and your family  are well. Nice to see your work again.

Thanks for visiting, Pnina.   I still come on PN every now and again.  Like life, it's changed over the years.  :)
