Just a little touch up :-P

All I can say is "yikes!" A bit more than upping the contrast and correcting the color, that's for sure!

Wow, now that is knowing your software!!! (I don't think I'll put it on my bucket list)

Thanks for sharing, awesome.

It's pretty amazing but I wonder where photography ends & graphic design starts with something like this!?!
November 21st, 2012
not really photography. But an interesting creative process. Perhaps he should learn to paint?
November 21st, 2012
Awesome video! I love to watch stuff like that. Wish I had those editing skills.
November 21st, 2012
@bobfoto LOL!

Interesting creative process!
November 21st, 2012
To those that keep on about this not being photography your right and i dont think he is saying it is. It is called art. You know where you create stuff lol. He pre visualized an idea and created it with various tools - photography, still life and digital tools to create something he saw in his mind. Thats what art is and it doesnt matter if its painted, drawn, photograph, etc or a combination of many processes. Its being creative and creating something that doesnt exist which is awesome. Mad skills to pull off a great idea.

Made it 1/2 way through. Lots of works...wonder how many layers that person is dealing with. I like this stuff but don't have the ambition.
November 21st, 2012
@pocketmouse Mine too! :-)
@smevvy @mjkthorpe Pretty wild, huh!
@sam_cr I have no idea!
@svt Yes, he really puts a lot of time in it looks like!
@jlhopgood You're welcome! (and it's not on mine either!)
@sjodell Pretty early on I'd say :-)
@bobfoto LOL! I agree!
@sharritta Me too....if I could get them without putting in the study time!
@grammyn Yup, that's what I thought :-)
@soia Well said!
@brianl Yes, it got a bit overwhelming, didn't it!
November 21st, 2012
Now THAT is an extreme lone tree. Incredible. I wish I had such skill.
November 21st, 2012
@fueast ELT roots even! Yes, I think I need to do more challenges to get myself to work with editing more.
November 21st, 2012
@m9f9l Hard to know how long that too him though. Breaks my 30 minute per picture rule for sure!
November 21st, 2012
@fueast Good to have a rule! I can easily get sucked into time stealers :-)
November 21st, 2012
@soia -- well said!



I really enjoyed watching the transformation - brilliant idea and skills!

@brianl The video at the end said it was 130 layers. Amazing stuff.
November 22nd, 2012
@soxfansara You're welcome! :-)

@soia - but if he did 16 images like this and hung them in a gallery would it not be advertised as a "photography exhibition"???
