Description
A quick little manip I was inspired to do having seen the model's green mermaid series.What is a Will o' the Wisp?
From this website: [link]
"There are various explanations for the Will o' the Wisps, the most general being that they are malevolent spirits either of the dead or non-human intelligence. They have a mischievous and often malevolent nature, luring unwary travellers into dangerous situations...In many places the Will o' the Wisp were associated with spirits of the dead who could not enter either heaven or hell, malignantly wandering the earth leading foolish travellers astray. "
So really. Don't follow the lights. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock used:
Backround and model: (Yah. She had both the backround AND the model. How crazy is that?)
Skulls: (Can you spot all three?)

Beautifully brought together. The way you put the model into the water, with the slight transparency, or however you did it, too look as if you can see part of her under the water. Truly talented.

Hooray, Will O the Wisps! This is beautiful, very well composed. The colors set each other off well, and those skull phantoms hidden in the marsh are a great addition!

Very neatly presented.

I have to admit, the skulls made me happy. I don't do too well with fog, but I do like how this came out.
