Once in a blue moon

[pnodrog]

Pretty easy. All I had to do was wait for the super blue moon then wait for the bats to get into the correct spots and then wait for the two echidnas to start rummaging about. No, it's not SOOC and no AI involved but maybe a little help from photoshop.

Very creative scene. A nice spooky image that has a lot of areas to explore. Nicely done!

Thanks Manfred.

I and I assume most of us have lots of photographs that are interesting but not interesting enough to share. The base photo of the trees (recovering from forest fires) was one I liked but just lacked a focal point and as it looked a bit creepy I decided to enhance the creepiness. Fun to do and manage to utilise a few other images I had that were not strong enough on their own.

That makes sense Paul - one of the reasons I spend a lot of time with still life work is that I get to build up an image to be just the way I want it. The same can be said for studio portraiture.

The route you have chosen is effective that way as well and your skill in Photoshop comes through very well.

All Australian spookiness.... Do I need to add a snake? Maybe next time, and a black crow too...
