Use one or more of the shots below as background or texture* - along with your own subject - and repost to this thread. Feel free to write a story or descriptive caption - or let your work speak for itself

*you can blur, stretch or change colors. If working with layers, experiment with blend modes and opacity.

Thanks for playing!

Out of time.
In DAZ 3D -
Selected a 3D model.
Isolated her head.
Applied make up.
Apllied expression
Applied lighting.
Rendered it and save it as a .png file.
Selected a clock model and basically did the steps above.

In photoshoup opened up all the images
Resised the leafy backround and used it as the background for the new image.
Duplicated the background
Motion blurred the new layer by 20PX and reduced its opacity just a tad.
Placed the head and clock as new layers.
Cloned out a distracting highlight on the top left of the leaf image.
.

I tried a couple of different variations in PS but I liked this one the best.

Background layer - winter grass photo
Layer 2 - Layer mask of a sculpture I shot
Layer 3 - Linda's third photo with an overlay blend

Super-cool, Dan, thank you! #3 is so quirky and unexpected, I think I'd make that my favorite. However, all are very eye-catching and creative.

Thanks, Linda. You never know what you're going to get from compositing like this until you start blending the layers.
