Now THIS is good photomanip work. Incredible, actually.

Generally speaking I usually don't like this stuff, but I totally love this.

Do you happen to have a 1600x1200 version for my desktop?

great texture!!!
can you tell us about your technique of doing it if you dont mind? i see many overlaping lines in while and blue but i dont know how exactly they are patterned.
how many layers are there? and how are they related?
thks
great work. keep it up. we want to see more.

Pixel Soldier, you're more than welcome!

mannela, Thanks!

rippleboxer and J. Tsang, Thank you guys.

Well I have experimenting this technique for 2 weeks now. Basicly it is a painting with abstract imgs. I first create many abstractions using some filters in PS6, especialy the filter/distort/displace, glass, twirl, mostly DISPLACE. Then I start to overlaping the imgs and isolating some parts of them painting with brushes and gradients on a mask (layer mask). I keep changing the layer modes(softligh, lighten, darken, overlay,etc)and moving them up and down to explore more and more until I am satisfied with the effect, then I merge the layers and start it all over again.

I am sorry I cant be more specific on the procedures, but it is a very espotaneous and ocasional process!

having just learnt to surf in hawaii, i can safely say that you have totally captured the feel. awesome work.

Nice.

Good feeling to it, very soft and welcoming. The colours are good, I find it hard to work in those particular cyan and greeny blues.

Try this method: get any picture, duplicate it so that there are now two identical layers of the same pic. Now change the upper layer to soft light and do a gaussian blur on the layer beneath. Instant softness!

btw, those dots in the address are really hard to see, and the r in br is too.

Hope that helps.
