first the tuba got a pen-tool-treatment to get free of the photo. in the hue/saturation dialouge i changed its color. Than I chose some parts of the tuba and transformed them to parts of the shrimp

the fin was also made by liquify and transform tubapieces.

next point: the drops. they started in grey, ged some dodgetreatment to set highligts and was wrapt with the plasticwrapfilter. than i made them a healthy green. last but not least they were set in brighter colors layermode, that they look a little transparent in the final picture.

The sky is a gardient. For the stars i used the noisefilter to create this wellknown black and white effect. In the layermode brighter colors the stars made my gardient a green sky

I cut out this square, doubbled it, made it white with the levels. the sqares became a whole irregular famaly, which was transformed to some kind of ground. I masked the backside of the ground, blurred a copy of it (gaussian Blur, and put it together for get some depht in the picture

knife, fork and spoon are - who could expect- parts of the tuba.

For the holds i pick a little stripe and changed its color. the structure that was on it was ogod, but not good enough. i used the motionblurfilter and than the spongefilter, allways with a new copy of the darkgreen stripe and in softlight layermode. well, the spoon is the same stripe, transformed blured, dodged and burned. also the silverborders on the cutlery. for the knifes blade i chose another part of the tuba. The same blades i used for the forks spikes. Allin all it was transformed, liquified (just a little) dodge, burned and colorchanged.

To miss the lemon to a shrimp is a pitty. Again, the tuba is guilty. its font became a lemonskin. transformed, liquified for finetuning of the shape. again. The result was blured to get free of this stripepattern, that looks wrong on a lemon. dont know why.I used the spongefilter, but very very low for a little effect that comes closer to the natural version of a lemon. From the keys (?) if the tuba i made the inside of the fruit, doubled, moved, transformed a lot. They were arranged to a circle, fusioned to some circle gardient, were transformed for perspective and fitted in.


Well, the last step was to arrange all this single elements in a picture, adapt the colors and add some fog with a white brush where the horizont might be.
