I Have A Feeling We're Not In Kansas Anymore!

Description


I don't use any of the creative features of CS2 other than what's needed for Orton effects (gaussian blur), so my creation is old school. Created original image using slow shutter speed and circular camera motion and took a picture of my nephew runinng to create motion effect. Adjusted levels and unsharp mask to original. Using lasso tool I pulled pieces from other images and placed randomly on original image. Converted to b/w using chann
