This was a fun one I did to use as my 3D Android phone wallpaper
I wanted to try and capture the literal 3D/RealD look without any actual 3D tricks (steroscopic etc.)
That means playing around with some major field depth and contrast to make parts appear to "pop out"
Ref: [link] There was already a nice perspective and field depth in the reference pic, but I just wanted to make it really stand out
Photoshop CS5
Airbrush, Dodge/Burn tool for detail and (lots of) Sharpen/Blur tool for finishing touches!
