I don't know how many threads I've seen by now about Peter Lik's Phantom (on other forums as well). I got really inspired by that photo, however, it's been snowing here all day here, and there are no photogenic canyons around.
Short of venturing out into a really bad weather, I found a photo taken in a similar snow storm last year right on my street and ran it through a one-click Topaz Impression plugin. Instead of canyon walls, I had to work with only a meter-high snow bank, but I got two phantoms. Not just standing, but moving towards me! Coming from work or supermarket.
I'll take $100 for that master piece.
