Communion

Communication in the Primal Element of Life!
Original image taken from 20 floors up
I was struck by the negative space surrounding the couple
Edited and manipulated in CS2 to attempt a Holographic FX

Hi John, thanks for the nice comment regarding this image.After cropping the right side to elongate the frame, and some color editing, I made a copy of the original and ran it thru the plastic wrap filter.
I then filtered the original with dry brush and blended the two images in normal mode at 40% opacity.
If you look at the image for awhile it has a slight holographic FX.

Oh, I really like this one! It sparked my interest as a thumb nail. I thought it was a little beetle drowning in a poll perhaps! What a nice surprise it was as two people. Makes me realize how SMALL we look from a higher perspective. Good one! -Laura Swan #5471261Norman P. Banks February 13, 2008
