Beach Glasses

This creation was made from different photographs I have taken while working on cruise ships in Rotan and Key west. I have merged different elements to create this abstract scene. Firstly I placed the image of the glasses onto the background image of the beach. I then found two other beach scenes in my collection of photographs and placed them in the Lenses using Linear dodge blending mode and used a mask to get the right look. I then took a wave from another image and placed it on the bottom of the right lens using a mask to blend it to give the look that it is hitting the glasses. for the left lens I used the stamp tool to create the same effect but with the sand. I duplicated the glasses image and used the levels to turn it black. I then used the warp tool to position it and lowered the opacity. I added an overlay blend to give it a bit extra. I then merged the whole image and added a texture filter of tiles to make it look like it has been painted on a canvas.
