Tropico

Uploaded: September 18, 2004

Description

I first shot a pic of tropical textures (pineapple, hibiscus, banana and palm), then I applied PSE filters and painted, dodged and burned. Next I layered it onto another pic of bamboo. I believe I changed the layer to vivid light and reduced its opacity to let it show through.
