The ghost ship is one eyecatching pic! Make the back of the ship a little more opaque so it is hiding the clouds behind it a touch more - give it the same substance as the main mast - remember, you're using objects from the 'real' world, they have to follow the 'realworld' rules. Nearer objects go in front of farther objects.) Do you know how to desaturate the colour yet? It may be worth trying on that one. Desaturate each layer (CTRL+SHIFT+U I think.) and play about with the contrast on each one - I think you'll be able to come up with one hell of a cracking image! (Don't know about how others do it, but create a layer above all the others, select a colour like, sea bluey/green, fill the whole layer then make it an 'overlay' layer. That'll give your whole pic a coloured hue that you change just by filling with a new colour. A dark bluey green will probably look good on that one.) Hope this helps ;-) (",) Mike
