As usual, your image is great. I love the way you can integrate figures into the challange pics. And your imagining of the situation is marvelous. I do agree with Skunk that the initials are a bit obtrusive. You might like to find a way to integrate them into the picture.

Even though it isn't, I have the illusion that the reed mat is receding into the distance. Now for my nit picks, my personal feeling about your initials, is that you should put them in a different place if you want to have your initials in the image. I think it would work perhaps on the lower right, or on the metal part behind the leg on the engine she is sitting on. But I do defer to your creative decisions. Very well done, and I love the train.--skunk
As always, very imaginative and very well done. You think of things with a different eye. I don't know where you get your women, but her position on the 'bottle' looks like she was meant to be sitting there. Oh oh - the train number is reversed. : j
Let's see if I can remember the steps... Used the motherboard as the background, then textured it with the reeds. Transformed another motherboard layer and added cloth texture to make the floor. Took yet another motherboard layer and grain merged it onto the engine. Put the mechanic on the engine. Added the train to give her something to gaze at. Painted in the steam. Took the chemical glass, turned the liquid green to match the bottom of the engine. Duplicated the layer and cut out just the top to create the illusion of an actual glass. (The original didn't look like it had any depth.. there was no rim on the other side of the glass). Painted in the drops. Add a slight vignette to 3 of the corners. I believe that's about it. :-)
