Ethereal plain- Blending

I wanted to create a fantasy realm floating in space(?) or other dimension(see the ripples in the space BG) or whatever that is.  I used multilayer to create an illusion the the island is floating in the water. If you look carefully, you'll see that some part of the island is under the water, and under the water, is the space itself!

I learned how to use layers more effectively and learned more about tools (healing brush, etc).

I struggle with the multilayer because it is very hard to get it just right, to give the illusion that I intend it to.


I think I did pretty well and the outcome looks as wacky as I wanted it to be.
