I see that you already did! And I would be honored! Just make sure you link back and I am good.

And brilliant job by the way, is it watercolor?

silver-dog09 In reply to pixelpig [2009-06-25 19:29:41 +0000 UTC]

Yes it is watercolor.

I'm sorry that I didn't wait for your permission, I was just so excited, I couldn't wait.

Also, I was sure to link back to you.

Thank you so much, my friend!

Haha, no worries for not waiting. I should probably re-license it under a much free-er license.

Cheers

Also, just make sure you license it under the same CC license. You can do that via the "edit deviation" page.

Incredible, but I still love this photo ... someday I must to try something like that, who knows using some filters

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

pixelpig In reply to Sokyu [2007-07-26 07:14:03 +0000 UTC]

I actually didn't use any filters. Just some selective editing in photoshop.

And thanks for your comments!!

pixelpig In reply to Sokyu [2007-07-26 19:08:12 +0000 UTC]

But of course, if you can get the filters, you might get a much better shot.

For this shot I used photoshop to separate different elements of the scene, then apply selective editing to each element. Then I merged them all together.

Tis a technique that my old photography teacher taught me.

pixelpig In reply to Sokyu [2007-07-27 04:32:12 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, I have had many teachers, and also I have been a teacher. Tis the ultimate teacher, and its a shame I am bad at it.

I taught photoshop, not photography.

Sokyu In reply to pixelpig [2007-07-27 09:47:42 +0000 UTC]

Oh I see!! I tought it was photography! I recently meet online a photographer which also teach photoshop, but he is really a photographer, I felt in love with his portfolio.

I was learned photoshop by myself since one year ago ... well I am not professional, but I already do some nice things, I think

Tricky guy. Sounds like me.

Once you get used to the program it isn't too hard. I think that you have done some beautiful things in Photoshop. Particularly your fantasy piece.

Oh damn, you suck- you have NO idea how incredibly lucky you are to be to do something like that. Well you might, but God, that's amazing- one of those things that if I ever got offered to do something like, I'd have a hard time keeping my jaw off the floor.

I hope you're having fun on your boat-trip-thingy, and great photograph.
