Creating a background

[laser1]

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

[angelize]

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

[gwpriester]

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