OK don’t worry folks I haven’t completely taken leave of my senses, I’m not going to flood my gallery with these photo-manipulations. This is one of the first ones I tried. I spent a lot of time on it so I figured I might as well upload it. Again I hope you can overlook the flaws and find some way to enjoy it.

The stock is from :iconlongstock: and the model’s name is Lola Falooza.

I saw this lone picnic table so close to the river and found it interesting. It gave me some ideas on how to shoot it, I may go back there yet, with a real person :) Anyway when I saw the original stock shot I thought I’d give it a whirl. I liked the idea of a woman all dressed up being at that location, it would be hard to get to if you were wearing high heels :)

Originally the background contained some buildings on the other side of the river. I got rid of those as part of my experimentation in PS. That is the color the sky was that day, at least in my pic. There were some clouds in the sky, but I didn’t bother leaving them in, I liked the look of the plain sky, I thought it made the location look more desolate. I still have a version with buildings as well.

That's a great one ! You can hardly tell it's a manip, the model suits perfectly in the picture.
But it seems like you forgot to erase the reflection from the buildings in the water =p

Ha ha I didn’t forget, I just didn’t take the time and effort to erase the reflection of the buildings. I was wondering if someone was going to comment about that, you have a good eye :) Thanks!
