Hein: "art is not how you make it but what you create" thats exactly what I was trying to say Hein... read the words "what YOU create", but copy/pasting to create good looking backgrounds is not what i call call being an artist... dont you understand what the word "proud" means?

hein, you say that the result is all that counts...dont you feel like youre fooling yourself... i know that i would... i mean its easy to find thousands of great free stock photos and to combine that into a winning image... everyone with a bit of experience can do that... i agree with springbirdy, there are limits... its not just the result that counts... most people will have more respect for someone who can draw/paint a beautiful landscape, than someone who uses some ready made models in front of alpha planes... its just reality dear friends
