Into The Blue

Into The Blue

Uploaded: March 01, 2009 11:57:05

Description

The inspiration for this was the new CD, "Into The Blue", by Nicholas Payton. I simply took a photo from my "Clouds" album and layered a photo of Nicholas Payton taken at the San Jose Jazz Concert. I chose Overlay and used a soft eraser to blend him in with the clouds.
