    "Through adversity to the stars", the motto of the RAF which was also used by our old friend Gus Hallgren. This image sort of made itself, as I didn't know what I was going to do when I started working on it. It wasn't until I flipped it vertically that I knew what I wanted to do, then it was a fairly simple matter of applying a deep sky image (courtesy of NASA) as a layer on top of the original. I set the layer blending mode to "Vivid Light" and the opacity to 38%. The natural shadows on the hood of the car turned into cosmic clouds and this '57 Chevy is now a starship!

    Very creative Kerry. I got sucked right in to thinking it was a plane! Great processing. Thanks for the translation too.

    Very creative, I thought it was a hood ornament when I looked at the thumbnail, like what you've done with this. TFS
