Magic Tree

[Erisian]

I thought I would keep this one simple.

erisian: nice photo manipulation! i like the buttercup (or the yellow flower, it looks a bit like a yellow poppy too) and the tree growing straight out of the stream. but of course, it would look a lot better with a couple of paisleys here and there.

Thanks AnMal. Nice to know somebody likes it other than me.

Erisian I especially liked the bubbles. They are so real, distort the image you see through them. This distortion of the focus was great.
Even the first time I saw, they impressed me.
It seems they are skirting the tree and continued the trip, as UFOs
How many have there? 4 or 5 bubbles?
If you have a link to a tutorial that teaches how to make bubbles this would be welcome!
Thx for sharing!

Thanks Akros. There are 5 bubbles. You just duplicate your image layer, add an alpha channel then run Filters>Map>Map Object and set it to sphere. All you have to do then is duplicate the bubble and reduce its size each time.

cool bubbles Erisian

As soon i saw it a idea flash ...

First look for the right tree
then add the bubbles as they were fruits of the tree, no much will be needed, a branch protruding a fruit in Foreground, should enhance the effect

Not a criticism to your work but a idea for a spin off

I'm a bit confused here...I guess that means the magic has gotten to me. xD

Feels like a trip to Fairy Land. I love it.

Thanks everybody.

PhotoComix - excellent idea for a future pic.

Moko - confusion is common with people who try to resist the magic. Go with the flow.
