Destruction

Compilation of two images - shrimp boat and boat rust. Selected

overlay in layers options. Actually not much PS involved. Comments?

Very cool Kim.. I enjoy this kind of shot that combines textures and colours. 5/6.

 

I wonder how it would look if more of the boat's original colour was brought through the texture..

Actually, Matt, I used a fairly high-key image of the boat, so it was mostly white and light colors anyway. Could go back to the original, I guess, but I was being lazy. I'm having fun with my rust picture today. It's making some interesting compilations. Thanks for visiting!

Hi, Kim. It looks like the "rust" corresponds roughly to where the nets would be if fully deployed. This is very dramatic and very different from what we have come to expect of you. I would like to see the original, too.

Lannie, the two images are here:

 

Shrimp Boat and Rust

 

 

Funky and I like the color scheme and composition. Would look good blown up and hanging on a wall in a million dollar condo. Get out and do some selling Kim.

Very cool

I agree with Tim. What a marvellous creation,Kim !

its pure art and a nice surprice to find this monday-mornig present on my screen.

 

thanks and greetings.,

Excelente luz, bello encuadre, perfecta composicion, y un fondo magnifico, un cordial saludo Kim.

I like this, the effect is very pleasant.

Yes, the unusual effects with vivid colors & great textures and creative idea really makes eye catching, Kim!!! Best regards.

Thanks, guys. This is what happens when I get stuck inside on a Sunday (bad allergies - windy, so no bird shots this weekend).

Yep, just have to play sometimes, Wilson...

Hey, Kim. I saw this base of this picture when you posted it and I thought it was pretty cool. But this...this is a true Slonaker. Nice job.

Wonderful elaboration, Kim. I loved the previous image, but this with the ship is really stunning.

These work very well together. You are truly an artist. This one adds such "feeling" to both images. Super!

Hi Kim:

 

A clever and eye-catching composite which, as always, I find inpiring!

 

Having spend a good part of my life photographing boats, I confess that the horizontal line (from the rust layer) passing through the trawler's rigging bothers me. I can't help but wonder if the scene wouldn't have a more balanced and "natural" feel if you elongated the rust layer so that the horizontal ridge could be shifted down to a position that corresponds to the trawler's waterline? This would surely make the old salts more comfortable, and I think also serve to better visually "unify" the two layers. I think... --jim

That's a good suggestion, Jim. I haven't finished playing with this yet. Thanks for commenting, everyone.

Kim, I love the tones and composition. Nice artistic touch:)

Thanks for your continued visits, Jason. Much appreciated!

I think I like this one best. Great idea for the combination....You are an inspiration to my creativity!

This is truly stunning, Kim. Really beautiful! The idea behind as well as the execution are truly impressive. Chapeau!!

Thanks to all of you. I'm still playing with this one. See other version in same folder.

Wow! Kim, this is great! The colors, the boat, the composition. This works for me! Great PS skills...
