Icy skies

I'd seen a fabulous picture on this site called
Frozen Bubbles, just magical. I wracked my brains on how I could do something similar and just when I thought I was on the right track, I couldn't find any tracings of frost. So I broke the ice in the bird bath, took a picture of the sky through it and then combined two images to produce the above. Not the result I had originally set out to achieve, but thanks to 365 feel I could be heading in the right direction!

I'm not quite understanding the picture of the sky, but it's a very pretty composition. It looks like snow in the background to me.

until i read your description i did not realise it is a composite - very well done. the detail in the fur is gorgeous- - i feel i could touch it..
btw, beautiful dog.

@brennieb Thank you! This was made with an early version (eBay) of Photoshop Elements (7) and a play around using layers.

@skstein Thanks Sandy. It was made up of two layers in Photoshop, a picture of ice superimposed over the original shot and then partially removed to reveal the dog.

@jesikajae Thanks Jesika! x

@jorlam Thanks very much for commenting. I enjoy photo manipulation as much as photography but wasn't sure if it 'counted' here. This dog is a little star, glad you liked her.

So neat to see you experimenting so much - I haven't got to this stage yet!

@farmreporter Thanks but it's easy once you've done a couple. I just Google anything I want to try:)
