Wanna know about this image? However you answered I'm a gonna tell ya. The golden orb in the middle is a super moon rising and colored by the atmosphere as it rises. The clouds look like they have been painted on a canvas but it's a real photo of a sunset from my back yard. The super moon is merged with that photo, laid over the sun so the moon glows brightly from behind. The moon photo is overlayed on the sunset photo in PhotoShop with a mask cut (electronically) for the moon to show and mark a bright outline for it. The black circle with the flare bottom left is actually a straight up photo of last year's total solar eclipse laid on top of the merged photo. The flare was the last little ray of sunshine as the eclipse became total. It is a color photo and appears as it was seen that day (through safety glasses of course.) Finally an exceedingly handsome photo of ME is laid over the top of the circle by way of a mask and my eyes and earring are color enhanced in PhotoShop. All the photos were then merged and the title was written and brought all the way to front and then another merge. and... VIOLA! (I know it's really voila) I have a title page. I took ALL of the photos. So what do you think? W5FIV Jimmy5 (I rarely use the photo version with my image on it.)
