Sprayer

Here's a simple hand-operated sprayer. Just so you can see there's something coming out in the spray detail, I added blue food dye to the water in the container.

 

Best appreciated in the large size.

What it took:

Numerous attempts to get a visible spray. Mask out the background for the sprayer, in The Gimp. Cut a circular selection from the spray detail photo, rotate 10 degrees clockwise, so it aligns a bit better with the sprayer angle. Add the two as layers to one image, scale so longest side is 1024 pixels, and save as JPG.
