here was the original photo taken from my backyard.

Wow; interesting result, Tran.

Thanks Lyle!

That looks very nice. I take it you did it with layer masks?

No didn't use layer masks, I just selected each gravel/pebble, then to path and cut away until whole image is done then go back and used paths to cut out random images.

trandoductin: oooooh i like that! but good heavens, all that cutting must have taken ages! i have to admit when i saw it i thought it was done by some script or other. i like the original photo too, it's simple and decorative.

Thanks anmal, didn't take that long, only about 2 hrs or so i think

Now you've gone and done it...I was just going to do a quick drive-by read, but now I have to stop and explore all the pebbles to find all the hidden little double exposure pics, lol

Thanks, which gravel(s)/pebble(s) would you add to your rock collection (if you had a rock collection)? lol

Tran: A visual feast. Got to admit when I first viewed the image I was in a bit of a hurry so only really noticed the bigger pebbles but there are so many little gems to discover here. Thank you.

I love it. It´s magical!

Thanks Skinnyhouse and Erisian!

trandoductin:
Nice pic, Did you Displace some of the images to wrap the stones?

Wow, very nice trandoductin.
