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.

Thanks Jennie!

I had this image for awhile and always liked it but felt it neeeded a little something else.(smile)

When you think about it, this whole photography discipline is just another way of exploring the inner person and expression.

So go for it Jen! (big smile)

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 #5471261
