My World ~ The Way I See It

Uploaded: July 16, 2005

Description

This is two self portraits. Conglomerated into this digital art form that I created using photoshop.
The first portrait is a water color of myself painting an actual picture of myself. The world was a photo of a globe that I converted to the colors I like. I created the black sky with the swirling black/pink holes and dragon fly stars. Got WAY creative on this one.... Let me know what you think! :o)

Mellissa, really a nice work. Good color, playful, nice composition...well done. Your moon shot brought me to your web site. I just shot the full moon rising tonight too. Try a little less exposure on the moon, so it's not so blown out, you will probably be surprised at the details that you get. Also, shoot mirror lockup, with a release or set to timer on a really good tripod to get the sharpest shot that you can of the moon. Mike photoshooter2.com #1616070
