Description .

In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea ..
(U2 - Running to Stand Still)

..

I usually don't like to show such pictures (I mean made not from my photos), but now it's just for a change ..

I just wanted something different .. something not very serious ..

Made it at work .. I had photo-cliparts CD with a lot of fashion shots and this girl was the first I saw .. I thought I could create something using her ..

I had to change her face (the original one looked too severe, more fitting for cold Ice-Queen than beautiful Princess of Ocean), it took me long to make the lighting and color of if look the same as the body .. I also had to change her dress, originally it was of black and white stripes .. I know it looks terrible now, I took it from another girl and it was really difficult to make it look naturally and leave original lights and shadows (there's left just a little of them) ..

Originally the sky on the background was solid dark blue, I added a lot of different clouds and layers for light effects (some of them were the light underwater) ..

The overall lighting of the girl was changed too, she had much yellows and was quite dark .. She still looks a bit out of the picture ..

When I came home I found that the face looks too fat regarding the neck .. I think the problem more in the neck itself, not the face .. But what could I do? that was original girl ..

Well, it's not very serious work, but I hope you'll like it

.

The first version of 'Ocean Treasures' can be found here [link] (I used that time only my own photos) ..

Very alluring! Good job of bringing attention to her face.

You've got a great eye! You use color/light to create some very dramatic scenes (i.e. surreal)...

I guess that's why you're in my deviantWatch.

Actually, this is very beautiful. The only thing I'm lacking is some haze at the bottom of the picture, round her hips and a little in front of her body, would make her merge with the background more. Other than that, very good blending as usually!
