Thanks. It is an amazing structure with fascinating exhibits. We were at the Sudbury’s health Science North Hospital and I took a few shots of the structure from a waiting room window.
That last one is fancy. Wow, fancy. Must be a dozen layers! It’s wonderful though. Very creative. That is an odd building. Snowflake, yes, I can see that where you live! Chuckle…
It is a difficult building to photograph. Up close and you can not see some of the unique features. Further away and your view is obstructed or the wrong angle. Shots from the water or aerial are the best. I have never had either opportunities.
To answer your question about layers – yes & no. 😀
I have all these textures, scans, photos & created. What I do is recombine them to create frames/mats and layers. So I may use only a few layers in a single image, but those layers originate with other complex layer built images. Another trick is to enlarge the canvas around the image and then flood fill or insert in selection. You can also use colour re-placer tool to combine different textures. 🙂

Well, I knew it was far too complicated for me! I love the effects you achieve though! 🙂
