2010 Galveston Sandcastle Competition

Here's a little peek at last weekend's annual Sandcastle Competition sponsored by The American Institution of Architects.  My husband's office competed by presenting "Alice in Galveston land".  While we went to participate in the work, we actually participated in drinking and visiting. 
Did I mention it was H-O-T !!!  I told you it would take awhile to acclimate!  That's my excuse for not working - and I'm sticking to it!

Of course, while we were there I had to get a few shots.

Then I had to do a little Photoshop play! 

Would you like for me to demonstrate in a tutorial as to how to get this effect?
