Description
Hey all!
This was an image I did for the June challenge,to design a CD cover.It's a composite of two images.I did a high key macro of my eye and combined it with a photo of a clear crystal ball that I have.Then I played with the coloring,etc. to give it this coppery/golden look.It's actually my first composite,and I was very happy with the way it came out(surprise,surprise,lol),so I wanted to include it in my gallery.I hope you guys like it,too.
Of course,I would love to hear any comments or suggestions you may have...I always do.I also want to thank those of you that left comments on my last upload,'Harbor Lights'.I really appreciated them.
Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all a most lovely week.
See yaz!
Marlene :^)

OMG!! Marlene!! You know what!! You really amazed me Ms.!! This is one of the best CD Covers i've seen tho!! Love the DARK SIDE of that impressive work here.. Very well done on the manipulation.. The golden colours came out perfectly!! This would make a kick a** AMBIENT/INSTRUMENTAL Audio Album!! Thank you Marlene for that lovely post.. And hope to see some more from your uploads. Sigh!! Now have a nice day and wish you the most lovely week to. JOE
Wow!! Your first composite? I was going to say excellent, but this deserves a better adjective, astounding!! I love the eye, and the gold hue/tone!!! Would make a killer CD cover!! You should have more fun like this, we sure enjoy it!! The golden font is very cool as well!! More!!!
Did your crystal ball tell you whether you would win or not? Or is it running Windows XP like mine and full of malware, spyware and very little in the way of useful advice? Great work, love the gold colour, very difficult to achieve in my (albeit limited) experience! Digimon's avatar looks like it has been staring at it for too long!!
Awesome work! I cant critique anything here... But what I do know is that I really do like it! Excellent work! Thanks for sharing! ^_^
YAAAAAAY!!! Dang! It took you long enough to get this one into the gallery.....geeeeeeeeeeeez! LOL! Well you know what they say...better late than never. Im sure glad it found its way out here. Its such an amazing composition/collage. And you already know how impressed i am by it. Must add...one more time....LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the font...even though i cant read it, LOL. Brilliant challenge-entry...and brilliant gallery-entry. Have a wonderful day Marlene. #:O) P.S. Sorry but i just had to edit. I just saw your keywords "I actually like it, lol."...ROTFLMAO!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! YOU CRACK ME UPPPPPP!!!! #:oD
Very creative Marlene and very catchy!
wow..very creative work
I think it's perfect for a CD, very eye catching. I like it!
Original and interesting shot, i hope that the predictions are goods!
Wanderful work, it has some magic.
Creative composition!Magic!!
Wonderdful image. It looks like a lot of care and work went it into this. The eye shows emtions of deep though. Excellent work. :)
Very creative and impressive compo!!! Bravo :)
oh yes, very original and very good idea my pretty lady, excellent work!! Good day and kiss ;)
you did very well, very well indeed.
I get this strange feeling that your eye is looking around my room,,,kind of like Lord of the Rings....lol...I'm with Zacko..love the font and I think I can even read it. You're a pro manipulator already =) photo-manipulator that is...lol
This works so well as a cd cover. The circular design is striking and bound to grab attention from the shelf for people who have an image of a shiny disc imprinted into their sub concious. Superbly produced postwork and design - are you sure you have not been doing these for years ?
see to be seeing you . this is cool work
I find myself just staring at this image, with thoughts a swirling... I actually can picture this on a CD in the store waiting to be taken home... I think you out did yourself on this creation!!!!!! It's very captivating!!!!!!!!!! excellent work!!!
First I think you chose the right font. Next I know that you probably spent a lot of time with this,so want to say it was well worth it.Never know maybe someone will see it and want it for a real CD. Have a fantastic week Marlene.Hugss
Daaaaamn! This is mindblowing...what a creative idea brought to life!! Hard for me to stare at that eye too long tho-, it starts to spin on me...yipes! Yeah I know, put the blunt down....But really I like this one alot, and would really like to see it on a CD cover...man the stuff we don't post...Great job girl! Aloha!
Seems strange to me, but a good creative job indeed.
This is so cool ! I love that font too...and the colouring is fantastic...A+++
I think the dramatic lighting is what makes the image especially spectacular. Lots of "visual" highlights. Very creative!
So wonderful shot:wonderful lights!
Wow...and WOW again! Great ideas & really nice work, Marlene! :0)
excellent post work Marlene and I got to say "here,s looking at you kid"
eye like it!!!!
Very Very Very professional work Marlene!! Outstanding CD cover... wonderful image and it looks indeed Mystical with your beautiful eye and the highlights ... LOVE the colors you chose as well. It's just outstanding and SHOULD definitely be a CD cover!!!! :-) Have a great weekend yourself dear lady!!
I think I will ask your Oracle why the Ebot about this came first now, after four days :-) beautiful golden composition, it looks trustworthy. Oh...now I got the answer...Change server!! Thank you Oracle, I will do that. That golden eye really draws you in! beautiful!
