A Place For Wishes And Dreams
A Place For Wishes And Dreams. A digital montage created using three different photos I took. I cut the wishing well away from its background. Then I brought it into this file ( the lake ) and placed it where I wanted it. I then chose a photo of clouds to bring in as well – to give it the impression of being somewhere other-worldly. I adjusted the Transparency of the imported layers to soften them and make them look like a natural part of the scene.
The original is a photograph of Lake Macquarie in Newcastle, Australia.

A great idea for your wishing well. A fantasy place but I wish there were a real place like this and I knew how to get there. Lovely, reflector.

reflector in reply to Marinapallett’s comment, about 1 month ago
Laughing here Marinella ! :) ” awesome well put ” – well thanks for the comment it’s ” Well Wicked ” ! This is 3 photos stacked on top of each other, with most of one discarded and a few effects filters applied. I really appreciate the Fave and the Watch Listing !
Marinapallett, about 1 month ago
no problem haha your very cleaver dont think i’ll ever be that creative i really love it!! :)
reflector in reply to Marinapallett’s comment, about 1 month ago
You can do it if you keep exercising your creative mind. My work is often primitive compared to the miraculous creations of the masters on RB. They all started out clueless, and look at their stuff now after much practice – just phenomenal !
Marinapallett, about 1 month ago
yeh i guess we just keep learning practice makes perfect hahaha
reflector in reply to Marinapallett’s comment, about 1 month ago
Don’t Laugh ! [ hahaha…... < :)= ] I was serious. Inspiration ( if exercised ), will blow your mind later on when you look back at where you began.
Marinapallett, about 1 month ago
Cool thanks for the your confidence hee hee i hope so :)))

Thanks Shallay ! [ I’m James, by the way ] Nature really put on a show one day, very close to where I live. It was easy to grab the inspiration looking at that sunset photo of our lake.
