impressive!

[Sue Rose]

What a great idea and so well done. I would be interested to know how you did this if you feel like sharing your secrets.

@suesmith @pam1 I took a photo of the glass ball with shadow obviously, then a photo of myself lying on the floor in foetal position, changed all to black and white, used the magnetic lasso tool in photoshop to cut myself out and pasted in a separate layer, played with sizing and position until it looked right and changed opacity so it looked like she was inside the bubble, not too difficult if you have photoshop to play with.

[Sue Rose]

Thanks very much Kali for taking the time to explain. Very interesting and something I'd like to have a go at one day, although I don't think I'll be using myself as the model!
