I strongly encourage you to look at the original picture to see what all I did to it. I took this picture while I was down in Florida on Sanibel Island (the island with all the shells). We were just about to leave after spending several hours there looking for shells. I took a couple pictures of the water and some shells and such. Then I figured I'd take a picture of one my footprint. I took it and didn't think it was very good. I even tried to work on it a little bit when I got home, but I couldn't come up with anything... until now.
I was just playing around with it and ended up producing this. For those who haven't seen my other work, this was made using Photoshop 7 doing some brushing, my own custom effects, lighting changes, and a few other things.
If you are an artist and a graphic designer, please do be critical and tell me what you honestly think of this piece. That is the only way I can get better.

Very cool picture and very good photo manipulation. I like how you made the footprint inverted. The contrast in colors are great. I like how you made the footprint glow more than the rest of the picture. It makes it stand out more. Great job.

Realy great done picture. I already check it all (I think) and I like them a lot. From time to time I am doing backgrounds of my own and I am impressed with your picture+s poetic vision. Bravo!

The original picture wasn't used using Bryce 5, although I'm pretty sure you know that.
That's for your comment. I'm glad you liked it. Whenever we're chatting again online and you want me to teach you some tips using Photoshop, let me know.

I've told you what I think, live online! lol but i shall reiterate! I dont know how to use bryce 5 and will likely download it eventually...when i get to spend some time at home and not worry about busing back out to run errans and spend quality time with my sweetie. the original isn't as lackluster as you depict it. give yourself a little more credit (from one photographer to another). I love the subtle natural additives in light and texture you've added. i can almost feel the sand and the weather. good luck, this is amazing

this is real cool looking it almost looks like we are under ground and that you can see the foot print of someone walking on the sand above...lol
any way thats what it made me think of ....
great work ! -
I'm no expert but I think this is really cool. If it was large and framed I'd love to hang it on my wall. That's about all I can say about the matter. Shancy.
