Thanks for all the comments guys.

I agree – love to know more about thisshot as it is in EPIC PROPORTIONS – you gotta be sooooo proud of this one Flamejob – I think you have outdone yourself…. Just too sensational fo words!!!!

Guys – This is a sculpture that is stuck on the side of the Ian Potter Art Gallery in Swanston st Melbourne. I snapped it yesterday from a low angle, clipped out the grey, washed out sky (Melbourne weather !) and added my own (I keep a collection of interesting sky pics for just such occasion). I then used Flaming Pear’s Flexify to warp the sky as a seperate layer behind the foreground. The results with Flexify are pretty random so it took a while to get the effect I wanted but as it happened, it came out with that ‘spout’ effect with the clouds so I positioned it in a way that made it appear to be coming out of the urn then merged the sky layer and the foreground layer. After that, there was a LOT of dodging and burning work to reposition the focal point for the shifted light source from the Urn.

Just to give it that extra bit of shadow I duplicated the layer and set the top one to Soft Light then merged them again – phew !

I agree Paul – Its “epic”

This is sensational!

Wonderful work, just love the high drama …magnificent work:)

Wow this is awesome…..well done…...

Thanks for the story. I’ll have to find that Flexify thingie. I have a few Flaming-Pear plugins – but not that one.

Wow-speechless :)

There is a lot going on in this art. I love it. For me I would need to study for quite awhile to see everything that is going on. Great job!

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !

It’s what happened with real art work during creation. You never know at beginning what will be at the end. But when you see some successful thing you use it… Guess it’s happened by creation of this stunning piece of art. My congratulations.

Utterly amazing

Such drama! Yet the guy at the top is stilled obsessed with throwing his discuss – some people are real sprots fanatics.

Love this, fantastic! I think you dropped off my watchlist as I haven’t seen anything from you for ages and I missed this one

very freaking’ cool!!
