Unbelievably beautiful image, Jill!! Keeps the viewer (at lease me) wondering what's on the other end. Your use of glowing colors is well done.

I was turned on to this technique by several photographers using it at another site...If you google "Orton Technique" you will come up with several sites that explain how to do this digotly or with a series of slides if you use film. It's really very simple once you get the hang of it and involves a few different layers sandwiched together and flattened..:-) It gives a fuzzy dreamy quality to your image...

Well, I know the Orton technique. I have his book. I shoot slides, so I have used his sandwich technique some myself. This photo reminds me of the movie "Dark City". Very creative.
