Artist's Comments

What a wealth of beautiful stock photographs we have here on DA !!.

They are certainly an inspiration to create art.

Such it was that as I browsed, pieces of a picture formed in my mind and here you see the result.

[Download for fullsize]

The ruins background I found first from CausticStock :iconcausticstock: (original photo [link] )

The lady I found from Kampfhamster-stock :iconkampfhamster-stock: Original photo [link] Photographer G.Cor.

I thought I might do a tribute to "Wuthering Heights", but happened to find the wonderful

"cloud / sky obscured sun" from book-of-light-stock :iconbook-of-light-stock: (original photo [link] ) and changed my mind.

Now, Now, You will have my head swelling so much it will pop :-)

I seem to be able to see images which would go together.

As to the technical aspects, I am finding out what the software can do, trialling different effects until I am satisfied with the result.

I have quite a number of unfinished works sitting on my hard drive because I am not yet convinced that they are fully complete - they seem to lack something or are not quite what I want.

Thanks for the ongoing support.

I had to work on the blending for a while until it (the sky mix of yours and the the sun/cloud picture), was "just right" but it was worth it.

Thanks for the compliment and :+fav: fav.

I understand the ongoing, unfinished work. Part of the process for sure.
