I recognize that place. I have photos of Poseidon too. I like how you framed the big photo with so many beachy elements.

really cool. love the 3D effect on the board

@michelepixels Thanks so much Michele... I haven't been down to the oceanfront in quite a while... we drove by there last week but not at the boardwalk or anything, but when we do go (I like to go in September when the sand sculptures are happening) then I always have to take photos of King Neptune Thanks again for your sweet comments!

@Trish Thank you so much Trish I used a bevel embossed style on the surf board PLUS I added a 50% gray fill layer above the surf board layer, set the 50% gray layer to soft light with fill set to 54% and then painted black on the 50% fill layer on the edge to get that 3D look more pronounced Doing the 50% gray fill layer with blend mode of soft light is just like dodge and burn for the 3D look but this way it is on a seperate layer if you want to change it up Thanks again for your sweet comment!

I was going to comment on the 3-D effect as well - thanks for the mini-tutorial, Christa! I may have to try that.

Love that regal picture of Poseidon in the surfboard! Beautiful shadowing on it too!

@Joan K thank you Joan.. if you get stuck let me know.. I know I did a tut with dodge and burn once and it may be in the learning pad otherwise one of these days I will write one up

@garrynkim thank you Kim King Neptune us really cool.. the full sculpture is really beautiful with a lot of sea life carved in it

Loving that sea god sculpture, perfect framing of it in the surfboard, complete with trident. And the larger background supplements your sculpture. Lovely!
