Principessa

A terribly complex and complicated image, not one of my favorites but I post it here to show what a bit of overkill can do. Frankly I think the complexity draws attention from the key element of the story, the "princess on the throne," as I originally called this piece.

Anyway, it is a composite of several stock images as well as a several photos I took over the years. All brought into Photoshop where they were heavily manipulated (like you couldn't tell that, right?) and then the tonal values were altered significantly as well. I do love Flaming Pear's "Flood" plugin filter though.
