Hello mates, and a warm welcome from this side of the pond.

I came upon this fantabulous website and I was knocked out by the quality of art on it. My humble respects to all the celestial-rembrandts on the site!

I am an ophthalmologist who has developed a recent interest in photoshop. Thanks to all the tutorials out there on the Internet, I managed to learn some basics of the same.

I visited a few websites like solar voyager and gregmartin and I got fascinated by space art. It's stretching the limits of one's imagination and it takes one into a whole new world, literally!

Unfortunately, due to my profession,  I can't devote too much time to this wonderful art. And yet, thanks to the tutes on this site, I have come up with something which I hope to post and get feedback from the experts on the website. I'd be greatly obliged!

Regards,

barochallo

Hi Barochallo, welcome to SV and we are looking forward to seeing your work.  Working in art is a wonderful stress release and you probably have plenty of stress from time to time.  Jan
