Spin on Romance

[Judy Howle]

Darkened considerably to start with and details toned way down. The background is very shallow water so you could see the bottom. Then Topaz Adjust twice, once for background, once for DFs and masked, layers merged then PB Oil Paint, PB Ripple Blocks and PB spin blur twice on 2 layers and male body masked in to show his detail. Fun to work on! Hope you like it!

I think the dark lighting adds to the "mood:p" Very neat idea Judy and again very creative thinking!!!I do wish their heads were a bit more in focus.

This does look like fun! ;) Great work/idea bringing the male back to the image!

Thanks Denise. Here's a revised version with the heads retrieved from a 'before the blur' saved image.

Thanks Steve!

Judy, your repost made a big difference! It is so much stronger with the detail in the heads. I love the combination of effects with the dark background. Very cool!

Thanks Kerry!
