Creating a background

I needed a particular appearing background for an object, so I created one from a photograph of a downed tree. After much hit and miss, I was able to create a background that I could use.

Laser1 that is good looking and generally very interesting idea

very nicely done. How did you get from the photo to the finished piece? It would be interesting if you can share your method :)

You had me stumped for a moment.;))

ill log that method for future reference and put it in the good ideas trunk...
(i think mine is even dumber than yours gary)

That looks great, Laser1. The bark really forms an interesting ring.

That's what you call recycling Laser. Nice work.
