First, thank you ALL for playing along.
Sooo.... it was a trick question.
Absolutely no Photoshop techniques were used to create the image. It's a one-shot image.
Photographer/artist Ryszard Horowitz created the image in-camera - before many of us ever heard of Photoshop! Do a search on Ryszard to see his amazing - and more current – work!
Above is a shot of Ryszard taking the actual photograph.
For now, here are just a few of his favorite images.
Read his bio, too.
You can contact him through his web site.

The point of this post: Experiment with in-camera techniques, too. It's amazing what we can do without the aid of Photoshop.

P.S. Don't feel bad if you posted suggested Photoshop techniques. I got it wrong the first time, too.
