Fantastic Stock and Where to find it - Feature 9

I’ve been making a collection of some of the brilliant stock artists works that I have come across. It started off as stock I can’t provide myself so I look for other peoples so I can suggest them. The way I choose is quite odd, when I see a stock image I have an instant image in my head of what I could do or create out of that piece of stock. The image also has to be crystal clear and easily altered.
Anyway, Check them out, I’m sure you’ll agree, just click on their deviation.

Try Something New! - Photomanipulation.Okay, we're going to try something new here to get people designing and trying out new things (hence the title). This will either be a bi-monthly or trimester challenge, depending on how well it is received.
The Challenge
This time, your challenge is to use one of the tutorials in our Photomanipulation folder to create your own manipulation:

So why not give it a go? There is not set theme, so literally all you have to do is create a photomanipulation. Any manipulation which you create from now until our next "Try Something New!" will be featured here, so really it's a win-win situation. You get to try a new art style, and you get a free feature!

How They Did It: The Story Behind the ShotHTDI:TSBTS aims to guide emerging photographers by showcasing tips, techniques, and stories generously shared by some of dA's most accomplished Photography > Animals, Plants & Nature artists. At the same time, we hope to shed light on the often overlooked amount of effort that is required to create striking images like these.
