Pink Floyd again of course. Thanks Alfred :D

First off, it is a natural macro shot of a Carnation stamen. Just that I try weird things like cutting sunlight through a prism to take the shot.

Original natural macro http://www.fototime.com/919E5E45FEFC9CE/orig.jpg

So natural sunlight being bent for the Carnation stamen.

"Dark side of the moon" Probably doesn't mean allot unless you have seen the cover. A bit more added to it though. Planets from flaming pear, lighting effects and cutting to shape from Photoimpact and the macro of course.

Danny.

You must have an angel guardian out there is the big Cosmos, all of your creations speak of open space, stars and freedom, no boundaries for you M8T, that's what I'm reading here :D

You forgot to add what software and filter or effects you used for us to get a better idea of how this beauty was created 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)


I know we are all unique beings, but you are double unique :wink: Keep the child alive :)

Phew. Tough work flow Fab, but I'll try. :D

Started off with huge blank page in Photoimpact :wink:, opened the Carnation macro, cut that into the shape, copied, pasted into blank page, opened another blank page, applied a background from flaming pear, the space gallery, open another blank page, then added the planet from the flaming pear Lunar cell gallery into that.

Take the page with the background from flaming pear, with the clouds and stars. Copy the planet from the lunar cell gallery, then add the triangle carnation stamen, RESIZE everything as individual objects. Phew !!!. Save as a tif at around 65 megs.

Open Photoimpact again, take the tif into that. Now goto the lighting effects gallery, choose the meteor effects for the lighting. Adjust the properties to suit. Five different filters in those alone. Varying the length, brightness, size and distance. Merging different colours as we go. Phew.

Finally added another flaming pear space gallery effect to the whole image.............but as a "Light" effect. Save, resize, save and post :D

Now thats an easy one :D . The more complicated ones use 3 different graphic software and now and again 5.

So do we really want to know :D 8) :wink:

All the best............oops, I forgot all the resize steps in between. I need more coffee :D
