bubbles to play with (WWYD105)

Trevor's original image and the What would you Do challenge rules are at http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21722/wwyd105

The starting image was clouds and a few bits of tree ... so I expanded the canvas & duplicated the trees a few times.
The bubbles are made from the expanded background which was warped using Flaming Pear Flexify plug in mirrorball settings ( http://www.flamingpear.com/download.html) in overlay mode. This gives the shaped reflection effect of the trees. On top of that I layered a radial rainbow colour fill in screen blend. It was probably easier to have just overlayered some real bubbles, but I was up for the challenge of showcasing the trees!

The image of the girl was originally taken for my 365 album in 2012 ( thanks again Cat!) http://365project.org/ltodd/365/2012-12-07

I learnt a lot playing with opacity, particularly in the hand area.
