Inspired by a friend's farking, I entered my first-ever Photoshop contest on Worth1000's beginner's board.
The source picture was a sunset over a landscape. I spent about two and half hours on Saturday trying to turn the mountain in the background into an erupting volcano, and failed miserably. So I extracted the hill in the foreground, played with the levels and color balance so it greened up, desaturated the sky, then applied a layer gradient of blue to white. I added a stock image of the Irish coast and voila. My submission was complete.
I was pretty happy with it. But I was surprised - and delighted - to get the e-mail notification this morning that I WON!
