Siem Reap, Cambodia

This is another location that is a no-brainer, but choosing the image was the difficult task. I tried a couple ruins with tree roots, but couldn't get the detail and tree right. When I saw this image, I knew it was it. It's not quite a reversed image in the reflection, not to mention the color difference. I'm still tempted by the ruins idea, but I'll keep this until then.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

I remember a friend telling me about a beautiful lake with stunning reflections. (An interested conversation because they were Chinese and there is a similar place in China called Qinghai.) I found a good image of the lake, dried and showing the salt flats. With a lot of time and a limited color palette, the final tile is complete. Enjoy.

Angels Falls, Venezuela

This is the last tile I have made for a while. I gotta get back to making more.

Breakthrough in France

France is full of iconic of places and it was easy to choose the Arc de Triomphe. But there is a lot of beautiful, but difficult detail on it and I wanted to capture all of it. I used my experience with layers, shadows and differing transparency levels to get this final result: The most rewarding part of the tile was slowly adding the shadowed reliefs. I kept adding details while zoomed in, only focusing on the outline of each shadow without seeing the full picture. The completed result was beyond my expectation.
