Golden Path

With a mask i got the path of the picture. Then i messed around trying to find a cool way to put the roads.
Then I got this :

Then I made the background using gradients. The image below, a picture of flowers in a tree i shot earlier.
And the Lens effect in photoshop.

Then I made the roads go further by using the vanishing point tool. And I ended with a lot of effects on top of eachother. In the end I had like 30 layers. And i messed around with hue/saturation a lot.
For put the ligtening effect on the path I used some blending tools.
