Hello everyone!

Does anyone of you who made this picture and how? Or how can I find out?
Maybe someone knows who or even if there is anyone at all? Would love to know!
Many thanks to you all.

Greetings
Romano

It looks like someone has merged a photograph of the woman onto the background and added a blur on both background and main image to make it appear blurred.

The opacity has also been adjusted on the umbrella which helps make the viewer believe that it is see through which of course it is, but when you mount an image onto the other the above layer (which in this case would be the woman) will appear solid and won't show the transparency.

There is definitely alot of blurring around the edges of the woman and particularly on the umbrella which is making the image look like one complete image instead of one mounted on top of the other.

The image is titled "Umbrella Sky" by Polish artist Marta Dahlig. It is CG art and is the cover for EXOTIQUE 3

And no one captures the true heart of cutting-edge CG art like the folks at Ballistic Publishing. Based in Adelaide, Australia with offices in Melbourne, Australia and Tampa, Florida and proclaiming their publications as the "Finest digital art books in the known universe," Ballistic Publishing constantly manages to push the envelpe of CG character collections.

Their newest publication, EXOTIQUE 3 (the third collection in their series of the "world's most beautiful CG characters") features 192 crisp, quality pages of computer generated images. That's 292 images from 197 artists in 45 countries...

One look at the cover image, the stunning "Umbrella Sky" by Marta Dahlig from Poland, and it's clear that these guys aren't simply tooting their own horns.

If I said "Google" would that be considered insufficient info?

I did a Google image search for "woman red hair dress umbrella sunset fish" (without the quotes)

I eventually found this. Before clicking that link be prepared for a long download that will freeze your browser.

After scrolling through about a third of the page I found the pic with the name and artist. From there the rest was easy.

I probably should have asked what you Googled to find it. :D

That page contains too much awesome for just one person. I reached awesome overload when I got to Bugs Bunny and Homer Simpson in a boxing match with Beavis and Butt-Head ringside.

Yeah, I think the way you worded it is perfect. "That page contains too much awesome for just one person".
