Producing several variations of an image with different degrees of stretching and then layering them on top of each other and then painting (revealing) in the faint structures is where it can easily become make believe, is it a real feature or just blending in of a bit of the lighter background from one of the more stretched background layers...?
Do you get what I am saying?
