Thank you all for the nice comments. Marideath: I'm glad you liked the mountain and what was done here. Luv your work too!! Again, thanks everybody!! :)
This is quite a remarkable edit when you consider what you started with; it really does appear that you are looking through a glass object. If you are going to do any more work on this, I suggest trying to make the "scope" look a little more mystical somehow... maybe it's just me but it looks like the glass turntable from my microwave oven. But then again, you don't want to change it too much from the original image, so ignore my comment if you want.
THis just came thru the voting booth, and I like the effect of the glass, its very interesting for sure, and makes the scene just "pop"..thanx for the shot..verena
great
great work!
