Where I Wish I Was

The beach.

It's 100 degrees (38 celsius) in St. Louis today. :(

Thanks, Monty Lov, from Unsplash, for the dreamy beach shot. Click on the black box, above, to see more of his work. Feet by me. Effects by Photoshop.

I love the beach. But will wait until it's a little cooler. Neat composite.

Very coolly done!

Great processing. It is very hot today where I live. It would be very nice to be at the beach.

Super shot...great sense of scale and great perspective

[Taffy]

Smiling (but not laughing as there's nothing funny about 100 degree temps!). Great use of photoshop to create a mood and storyline.

[Leslie]

thankfully I am at the beach with the temps at home reaching into the 100's in the next couple days. It's a little cooler here and there's a breeze.

@lesip Sounds divine!

@gerry13 Hi! I used Photoshop to blend 2 pictures into one image. If you know how to use Photoshop, I would be happy to give you an outline of how I did this. If you don't know how to use Photoshop (or GIMP), then the explanation may not be helpful. Please let me know if you want me to give a more detailed explanation - I would be happy to try.

[Marnie]

Love the way you've done this shot, very clever and looks very good.

[Rosie Kerr]

@golftragic Wish it were so. :)

[Marnie]

@rosiekerr Know what you mean, 100 degrees is no fun at all, especially if you have humidity too. It was 2 degrees Celsius here this morning.

[Diana]

Fabulously done

[Junko Y]

Very clever merging of two photos -- and I've yet to learn Photoshop but some day I'll ask how you did this! The beach scene is enticingly swirly and the colors wonderful . . . and the feet look stylishly sensible!

[Connie Little]

Wonderfully done.

[Yao RL]

Brilliant composition and colours. I wish too, in this wintry cold day.

[Faye Turner]

What a great pov! Well done!

[Gerasimos Georg.]

@rosiekerr thank you for your kindness.Yes i'm quite familiar with photoshop and i do know how to blend 2 pictures together.I was asking, because the result is very convincing, and because the colours are great-almost surreal :)

[Jennifer]

great pov and shot

[Sarah Munnings]

The beach is the best place to be 🙂

[Chris Johnson]

Had no idea you merged two photos!! Such a convincing and fun edit.

[Rosie Kerr]

@gerry13 Oh, OK - I downloaded the beach picture from unsplash.com. They have free high resolution photos that you can do whatever you want with. Then I took a photo of my feet up the air. I put them on layers, feet on top. Resized the feet to fit the scene. I selected the feet and brushed on a layer mask to keep only the feet and remove their background. Viola! :)

[Delwyn Barnett]

Very effective - nicely done :-)

[Marloes]

You've made this (and your explaining text) to a wonderful and very appealing comp!
