Description
A closer look at the Cape Blanco lighthouse. As with my previous post, I brought in a new sky to replace the cloudless one in the original photo, but this time played with Photoshop's blending options to create an illusion of transparency...

I would love to see this in a desktop format (1920x1080)

Fascinating. Now that's something I'll have to try. Superb result. Did you walk to the top?
photosynthesis
Yes, we walked to the very top & my next two posts will be looking down at the spiral staircase & a closeup shot of the lamp itself through the Fresnel lens.

Nice shot! Almost does not look real! I see the blending! At first I though it was painted on the building until a closer look and reading what you said.

Okay, that is totally cool. I LOVE the result! This is outstanding ... artistic photo manipulation at its best!

great shot!!

Interesting! It might be a bit more effective with more cloud above as well and with the lighthouse made a bit lighter. Just a thought.
photosynthesis
I considered that, but was going for a more subtle effect.

Great effect. It does look at first like someone painted a scene onto the lighthouse. I think I would have skipped the effect on the trees on right and maybe even extended the vision a bit to include a few more trees for balance. A fine job of blending the sky and I think just the right amount of clearing too.

Elegant in an eloquent way. Like a painting it is!
MrsRatbag
Very beautiful shot, and I love the gentle manipulation!
UVDan
That manipulation looks very interesting against the light house!

I thought the transparancy was a reflection off the water and a red sunset.

I really like what you did your claude! Just for grins I might have tried a second layer with sunset clouds different from the ones on the lighthouse to see how that would look. I think it would work!

Amazing how you tinted part of your sky on the walls of the bottom part of the lighthouse. A lovely image!
