Low tide, part 2. To achieve the background look, I used Ludiosis Artsy Paper 5 on the left, then added Solid Paper 1 on top in Hue mode, getting the benefits of all the beautiful layers in the right color. Some of the elements and the small photo are also placed under this Hue layer. On the right I blended with Ludiosis FotoBlendz combining several different of the png's, then modifying with brushes. Note I added a 3rd creature to my shadow photo. I created a separate Drop Shadoe layer from the mermaid, then placed it on the left, warped and transformed, in Linear Burn mode with a blue Hue adjustment on top. Shells, grass, twigs and threadz added to create a lot of motion.
