For this project I tried to use images that would work well with additional natural elements. For the tree shot I added in directional sun rays using the tutorial from the neondragonart site. The steps were fairly simple, I used the polygon tool to create the shapes of the rays around the sun, then using the gradient tool set to spherical I filled the shapes with the same colour as the sun. I also used several different layers, set at different opacities to create the rays, to help make the elements more natural.

For this image I wanted to create water droplets on the spider's web. I had a go at using all three water drop tutorials but I found the third to be the most convincing, which was from freeitsolutions.com
This tutorial used the brush tool to create small blobs on areas of the web. Then using several different blending modes the blobs were transformed into transparent dots. I also used filter>distort>spherize to make the blobs more three dimensional.
