Description
OK, I have to write many things here:
Everything started with UF3, where I came up with some very interesting earth textures (well, interesting to me, at least.)
Then I went to the Webshots site and downloaded one of the photographs of clarita137 - Clara - who was wonderful enough to give me permission to use it. I thank her here, I love her shot of this statue in St. Petersburg. (You can also see her work at www.morguefile.com, username: clarita. It's worth seeing.)
And then I went to Photoshop and layered everything and used different brushes, including a lovely marble brush created by Aurora (see http://memento.pinch-me.net) Thank you, Aurora.
And thank you all for visiting my gallery and leaving such generous comments to my renders!

Splendid pic! Great Job.
Wonderful artwork... very well done!
Perfect atmosphere.
Great work, looks like time took it's toll on an old photo. You did very well to create this wonderful effect.
Ersi, you cannot hide your feelings... Not even behind a marble statue. Pic is strong, as always. I wish you a bit more sun soon !
A great and moody image.well done.
Also like Clarita's work, she is Italian also, and does some good work, always interesting. This is a nice old effect , like the stains on the statue, and the great galaxy look behind interesting Lina
