Description


APO Welcome to Fantasy Cavern. PLEASE SEE FULL VIEW. Took a while for this to look right. The fractal was fun to play with, getting the pattern and coloring right. The lower portion of the fractal wasn’t all that interesting, so I decided to add the water. There was a large hole where you see the image of a cave. That whole was just too large for my liking, and was completely black. I dropped the fractal into Photoshop and adjusted the brightness and contrast. Next, was to make the more or less flat image more 3D. I added a drop shadow with an angle of around -30. Next was to go into Layers and add the Bevel and Emboss. I generally only add the Bevel to begin with and set the size from 18-28, 18 was used for this image. It rounds the edges and adds a wonderful depth to the otherwise flat fractal. I flattened the image and added the water, knowing that the black hole would leave a black reflection in the water. I then used the Magic Wand tool to select all the black within the hole, which also selected all the black in the reflection. I then copied and pasted into the selection, an image from a real cave, positioned it, re-sized it, sharpened it, adjusted its coloring, then… added the water to that still selected area. The result, as you see, is the reflection of the cave in its own water area, which looks to actually be part of the other. Hope you enjoy the image, and thanks again for viewing and for all you wonderful support and comments. Glenn.

An amazing beautiful result you've got by doing all those art work. The atmosphere is intriguing to me. I really love it. btw, saving the Apo as a transparent png. , is easier to adding other 'things' into it. ;-)
