Started out as the background for a very different idea I had. But the more I worked on it, the more screwed up it got, to the point where it didn't even closely resemble the picture I had in my head.
Figured that within this pic, the original concept was unsalvageable, so I didn't bother trying to go back to it. Just kept going with this as it was. I figure the end result isn't too bad, even though it's not at all what I originally had in mind.
So I'm posting this, and I'll hopefully be able to do the original idea I had some other day after a fresh new start. It just wasn't meant to be this time around.
Anyway, I know I've recently done a pic with foreground bushes and vines, and I don't usually like being so repetitive. But they seemed right here, so I'm leaving them in.
Start to finish in Photoshop, no refs. This took several hours, partly because I was trying to force it to be something it wasn't.
Edit: Moved this out from scraps to my regular gallery due to a print request.
Maybe I just need to walk away and not look at this for a while. Because right now, while I do like parts of it (or I wouldn't have posted it,) I can't get over the fact that the entire picture represents one big mistake. Heh!
It's so beautiful, even though you didn't intend it. I love how...private the little waterfall seems, how we're looking past bushes to see it, like we're trespassing onto something precious and secret.
Thanks very much, synconi. That's sweet of you to say.
I dunno, this doesn't feel quite like a scrap, but it doesn't feel like a polished piece either. It's somewhere inbetween. And when I'm not sure about pics, the scrap bin is the default place I put them.
