Sinking Boat
Uploaded: March 18, 2006 16:47:07
The only real photos in this image are the sky and the boat. The rest I created using several software packages and filters. I had posted one similar to this and forgot the moon's reflection. I have rectified this and added a little something...the boat...for interest.

Well done, Melissa! This composite is surreal in its own way, and you put it together beautifully. I still like Moon Rising; the lack of reflection adds a otherworldly element to it. #2570578Melissa G. Meiselman March 24, 2006 0
