Ancient Mask Found!!! by fiveplustwo

Ancient Mask Found!!!

At the museum there is a showing of the ancient mask found in the ruins around the SF Bay Area. The discovery was made while harvesting some wild mushrooms by a group of school kids in the Berkeley hills.

This week's theme is "AncientHistory", come join in!

@kali66 For sure!!!
@summerfield Not to worry, we won't tell anyone it was your suggested theme! For the shadow, make a layer of the subject as a cutout (in this case the ancient mask) and fill with black. Keep the layer behind the subject and perspective warp and move it around to where you want it to go...then use a gaussian blur on the layer along with a gradient mask to give the impression the shadow is not only fading away but is a little soft. Adjust the transparency as well along with clipping as needed.
