I went to the car wash this morning, planning to take photos through the car windows. To my surprise, I discovered I was already there

I am attaching the two photos used, and asking if anyone has an interest in explaining how they would do this. I kind of muddled through, using two layers of my face with different blend modes, and some erasing of the water drops. I want the scene behind the water drops to be indoors, not outdoors, with the water as "rain." Feel free to use your own interior shot; I had very little to choose from

Your time is much appreciated!

I did this with several layers, opacities, different kinds of layers, masks, curves with masks and a whole lot of guessing. All done in photoshop. Too hard to describe all the steps. 13 layers.

Thank you so much for your time, Jim. The idea for a room behind the face is really nice. I guess if you're guessing on the steps, it's a pretty big task! I might have bitten off a bit too big a bite

Nice processing, Linda.

I like your idea. But they reverse name on your camera was a dead give away. It being backwards. Than I read some of the comments. Jim corrected the camera name. Added a room. Which I like that idea. If I have time today I will have to give this a try.

How funny! I was so obsessed with the "rain" drops I totally forgot about the backwards camera name

Thanks very much, Frank, I appreciate any ideas and help.

Looks like a frame from a zombie movie. Heroine looks out into a scary night, hoping to see nothing there.

Time for Linda to get a waterproof camera and venture out to that car-wash. Going thru a car-wash as a human with the sprays and brushes would an experience of a life time... or Linda could rent a convertible and use the camera as the brush came down.... an experience of hurricane like rain.

Is the XIMUJ camera water proof?

I'm beginning to suspect that a day inside dpullum's mind would be quite a memorable experience of its own
