Where does the rainbow end?

Only the source image and a lot of work with gradients was used!

I won't upload a step by step guide because my computer is pretty much full right now, so i'll just describe my method:

The sky was a blue to white gradient, and i just blurred that back of the water to increase depth.
I made a water abnormality using a high feathered selection and the liquify filter, then i added a a russel's rainbow to the image. that can be found in the drop down menu in the gradients tab under 'Special effects'
I then changed the opacity to 60% and changed the blend mode to screen.
I added a Spectrum (again in th gradients tab under 'spectrums') and placed it in a high feathered selection, then i just reduced the opacity to about 60%.

That's it!! (2 years and 328 days ago)

I just wanted to say that this isn't my usual manipulation.. i suppose it's good to try new things, but then again, i hate gradients Reply »

I'm sure there was a lot of work on this.. its just a shame doesn't show in the result (your description pretty much covers the Labor) but i saw a piece on here just awhile back where some one took a picture and manipulated the source picture BACK into the same exact picture.. it was really really weird, but I learned a lot from it, it's good to do new things.. gives you perspective on other things available to you.. GOOD LUCK and good job.. Reply »

Thanks everybody! It's not a very striking result, i know GolemAura, i just thought i might as well give it a shot.. everyone needs to try things they hate. and apparently Gradients hate me as well Reply »
