Wow. Thank's everyone for your kind comments. Alpha asked about the technique so here goes. It really is very simple. I opened the Boat image which was a greyscale and it had to be converted into RGB. Very simple on Photoshop, it's just Image>Mode>RGB. I then opened the Bryce Sun and re-sized it so that it was bigger (but the same resolution) as the Boat picture. I then copied and pasted the Sun into the boat image. This will completely cover up the Boat image but this is where the "magic" comes in. Open the Layers Palette (F7) and you will see a box with the word Normal. Click the small arrowhead beside the box to reveal a drop-down men. Click on Multiply and then say "Wow!". As we made the Sun image bigger than the Boat image you can now select the Move Tool and drag the Sun image around to suit yourself. It was then finished off with a fancy edge from AutoF/X Edges Photoshop plugin. Hope this helps
