age old blue

well this didn't turnout how i wanted but playing with layers is hard and I've had enough for tonight. This is for the get-pushed challenge. @dapinsker Marc asked me to take the name of the third track of the last album I listened to as inspiration for an image.

I happened to listen to Alela Diane's album- To Be Still, the third track is called Age Old Blue.

Now I love Alela's songs because they have such strong imagery so even though I don't think the challenge was necessarily to illustrate the song, Age Old Blue is a reference to the sea so I wanted to use that along with blue eyes and a gentleman, also mentioned in the lyrics.

@dapinsker this was quite hard for me all round, i will try again....

I love it

Actually, it is not a bad interpretation of the title. Another idea could be an abstract of fading blue paint or something like that.

@greychick thanks Nicki @dapinsker it worked better in my head, thats the problem i have with starting with a concept rather than just finding something I love the look of. I will be on the lookout for something old and blue then lol

Fantastic! Reminds me of Neptune (Poseidon), God of the Sea... just needs a trident! :)

@dapinsker @gigiz @lindseying @genesis_one @writingdays @lensenvy @pixelpeeper @sueh thank you all, after sleeping on it and getting a bit of praise I like it some more, and can forget the struggles I was having with blending the layers. as another layer of meaning for me , I remembered that my partner was holding a little blue penguin when I took this shot of him, see my son Mani's photo for that story if you missed it. http://365project.org/mrr/365/2013-02-05

Very nicely done Kali! I agree with Elizabeth @pixelkeeper. When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was supposed to be Neptune. I don't know who your male model is, but he suits what we think Neptune might have looked like.
