This image started as a misty tree lined lake, but then I dozed off and my subconscious took over...
 [editted - gc] Conceptually the image is inspired by Guernica, and "The Cry" but of course that's where the similarity ends. (Apologies to Picasso and Munch!) If my technique with the new Wacom improves, perhaps I'll do a motif later in the week!  the usual stuff... PS/PI/Liquify and some color tweaking... [editted - gc] The lake image forms the background, with a hue adjustment resulting in the dark magenta shapes from the trees. A robber fly macro forms the "spectre" in the middle layer opacity set at about 40%, and color adjusted toward green to contrast a bit more with the other layers. The top layer is a copy of the bg, with Particles from PhotoImpact twisted into wraiths by Liquify in PS, and blended with Luminosity. The faint horizontal lines originate from Flood waves in the bg copy, and finally some selective erasing over the back of the fly. Sorry I was too sleepy when I posted this to provide a bit of explanation...  [edit #2] The comments of Ligia and Danny below made me think it would be interesting to show the intermediate step of lake image with spheres, before the distortions to the surreal image. Btw, the tree shapes on the right were touched up to more resemble insect parts in the final step. Here it is -- comments always welcomed! G. Briney
