Fantasy mix media photography.
Excellent job in creating a fantasy photo.
Looks like you had a lot of fun doing this. Your imagination and determination shows in the many steps you took in producing this magical image. You show many skills in technique. I love that you challenge yourself to add more steps and details to your creation giving it even more impact. Thank you so much for sharing this:)

What fun!! You have taken a very ordinary scene and have made it come alive. With humour and a bit of sparkle: it is very clever.
What doesn't`work for me. Well the lake you have chosen looks nothing like Loch Ness. You have to start to my mind with a basis in reality otherwise a fantasy just becomes a whimsy.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Deeps, I know the settimg doesn't look like Loch Ness, but I've heard there could be an underwater gateway to the sea. I based my picture on that basis. Nessie is not in Loch Ness, but the sea itself. I probably should have mentioned that in my notes. :o) I'm glad that you enjoyed the image. Thank you for the great review. :o) The Mixed Media Artist

Excellent job! I really like this and the creativity you show here is wonderful. This is a great fantasy photo and would work well as a book cover. Well done.

Thank you! This was so much fun to create even though it took hours to do. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the wonderful compliments.

You have created a digital image that at once appears entirely photographic in its realism, but on the other hand leaves nothing to chance in its composition. I can see the various elements introduced,,the repetition of forms and colors played out in a rhythmical scheme detailing the surroundings of Nessie. Overall a good story backed by a good artpiece.

Interesting image. The edited one makes a nice contrast to the original.

There's a real fantasy element about it which I think is nice.

Composition is great, as are lighting & colours (for both). Interesting & very creative. Thanks for sharing.
