Storm and Sunset

Originally entitled, "Been There" this artwork with photomerge was a place I dreamed years ago. Like most very emotionally charged and riviting dreams, this scene stayed with me for some 30 years!
I found the seagull image and transformed him with Photoshop . It is a work in progress. It doesn't quite work for me yet and would love input. I had trouble with the glow on the underbelly of the gull..trying to make it look seamless.

It's going to be incredible once you get it refined. I would think about lost and found edges with the seagull. Right now the gull has a bit of a hard whitish outline all the way around. Kristen

Thanks I like the start anyway. Got just the right glow I was looking for in the background.

I'll try fiddling with your suggestions..maybe with history brushes which I'm still playing with to get the right feel

Just be sure to save a copy so you don't lose what you've already got. Ask me how I know about that :-) The glow is a neat effect. Is it something new from the class you took?
