Lascaux Dream

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted May 14, 2011183 views12 comments

I combined 2 photographs using blending modes. The background is a piece of slate on our living room floor, the other is an egret I shot at the bay. Kind of reminds me of a cave wall painting, hence thename. Any comments appreciated.

Lucy, thanks for the information on how you achieved the look of this image. It looks very natural as if it had been on a cave wall for years. Very creative.

Thanks so much all for the vote of confidence. It was fun playing with this. I have a few more, including one with the bird's reflection on the water and one black and white. Maybe I'll continue to tweak them and post in future.

Best,

lucy

This is really nice. This image immediately reminds me of Native American rock art or a cave painting as you stated. Nice creative work

Actually, I thought this was an abstract. It is stunning. I truly love the color combination, even if they did come from a piece of slate. I must try this.

Thanks Jackie. The blending modes used with one or more images can be wonderful fun because the results can be so unpredictable depending on the images being blended. Do give it a whirl.
