Description
Full view recommendedThe english name dragonfly inspired me to make this manipulation.
dragon shade done in PS CS2 by me
dragonfly body: [link]
dragonfly wings: [link]
water: [link]
Edit: hmm lets say its new with old concept, all I used from the original pic is my painted shadow, but even that I edited by making it look more rippled from the water (the old one just was flat on the water). I cut out the wings removed some highlights, worked on the background which was visible through the wings, added highlights matching the water, changed colour, cut out dragonfly body, changed colour and angle of the dragonfly body, removed noise from water etc.

I really like the updated version of this. The dragonfly is much better, although I think I preferred the last color scheme a bit more... Wonderful!

Me too but I couldnt find no dragonfly and no water that did fit the perspective I needed was available for print too / big enough. Specially the dragonfly body took me hours till I found one which had the right angle and the focus on all the body but glad you like my update

Aww...this is absolutely fantastic manip! It reminds me a bit of my fav picture ever - the little cat sitting in front of the mirror and seeing big, brave lion as a reflection Great work!
