Old Wooden Church

The church is my photo. Backgrounds are a sunset, and a cloud-like texture. Birds created with PS brushes.

Seasons of Change

This started out as my February 7th project.  The original plan was to start with 3 photos, then add in backgrounds and elements and see how things go.  Then a funny think happened.  After only two photos and one background, it mostly came together.  After mulling things over a bit, I decided that one of the two photos was a bit of a distraction, so I removed that and took a portion of the remaining image and flipped it horizontal.  This is the outcome.

The mother and child, along with the ice and snow is my image.  The rest is the background image.

Mariinsky Dreamscape

A reworking of a photo from a couple of years back.  Mariinsky Park, Kiev, using Topaz Glow, Topaz Texture Effects (2 times), and perspective correction.  Plus a spot of sun on the left side, because adding your own sunlight is the only way to get it this time of year...
