Rayanda Arts What Is It Contest

Although you have to identify correctly the contents of only 8 images, this contest is challenging. For example, the image directly below is an unaltered photograph of bottle caps reflected in a fogged mirror with beads of condensation running down. As with the 8 contest images, all the manipulation for this image was done before I released the shutter. It took me hours to set up the shot, but once I had the mirror steamed, I had about 3 seconds to get the shot I wanted. The image below the steamed caps is a background image I created from it. So try dissecting how I created the 8 images and for your efforts, you could earn a 32 x 17 inch giclée of my In the Beginning...After Michelangelo painting depicted at the bottom of the page.
