Seal photo illustration

The background at dusk and seal head shot were both taken while at Katmai , AK last month.

Seal head was cloned using rubber stamp tool onto a new layer above the background. Ripples were selectively erased via opacity and magic eraser tool. Pear Flood filter used to reproduce seal reflection. Both layers adjusted with levels/curves. Seal selected and sharpened w/ Smart Sharpen. RAW conversions Capture One Pro, CS2 all else.

Forgot to mention - the dusk image was taken in Fluorescent balance

Vision starts from within :wink:

Best,
