    just beautiful,do you make your own backgrounds ??

  • Alf Caruana replied

    some I do, others come from a hires library, the image is made up of around 20 layers so theres quite a few textures, thanks for looking Hans and all the best

  • Hans Kawitzki

    Hans Kawitzki

    wow,20 layers,no wonder the image has so much depth,thanks for your explanation Alf.

    This is beautiful, Alf – wonderful editing and it suits a city such as grand old Venice to be portrayed in this way. As for the Mona Lisa…nope, she’s not there, she missed her gondola ride and will have to wait for the next one… ; )

    Stunning work Alf.Yes I found her, she was mysteriously smiling at me and then my eyes went up and to the left and…I found Dante.Very clear, can you find him?

  • Anthony Vella

    Anthony Vella

    Excellent artwork Alf. You,ve managed to set time a few hundred yeas back with this image. As for the beautiful Lady Mona, of course I found her, less than half a minute of searching….no beautiful Lady will escape my eyes. As for Betty’s Dante, I think he’s eluded me altogether or else gone back to Florence.

    Fantastic work Alf. I agree with a previous poster re the layers and the image having so much depth. It obviously took a lot of time, but well worth it!

    I also found the Mona Lisa too. Took me about 20 seconds (viewed full size) but I think it was very well placed though. :)

  • Alf Caruana replied

    thankyou Marek appreciate the comment

  • Gilberte

    Gilberte

    Hi Alf..at the height of Mona Lisa, you go to the utter left and then 5cm upwards:you will see Dante’s white profile, eyes, nose, mouth, pointed chin and he has a headcover like a laurel tiara.You can’t miss him; he is a goodlooking man; maybe he has a moustache!! and when your eyes come slowly down again you’ll see he is wearing a coat, you see his arm and white hand holding branches.
    Take a magnifying glass, it’s worth while!!

  • Alf Caruana replied

    yes I can see him Gilberte, great creative imagination you have there!

  • Anette Tyler
