About the Image(s)
The original photo is of a Chihuly Sculpture at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Arizona.
I made the Background colors more intense by using a bright green texture. Then I played with Motion Blur in Topaz.
To me, the sculpture began to look as if a UFO had landed. The young woman was placed looking at the “Space Ship”
From a photo of her looking at a painting at the Guggenheim in NY.

Very interesting. I agree that the sculpture could be a UFO. Great job integrating it with the outdoor background. Posted: 01/07/2025 17:04:03
I like very much what you have done to the BG and it really works. Interesting sculpture. It could be an alien ship or a load of snakes who have been exposed to radiation!!
I had to search for the girl so perhaps she could be lightened a little? Posted: 01/08/2025 16:05:20

This is great. I love the color. The girl does get lost in the image. I am not sure if lightening would help or moving her. Great job! Posted: 01/09/2025 16:16:48
Thank you all for your comments. I agree that I need to Highlight the girl more. I will try. The Blue sort of takes over. Posted: 01/17/2025 18:29:16
