I hardly did anything to achieve this.. At least I really like it. I think I'm going to enjoy this technique.. Would this be usable in your Feb challenge?

Winter/Summer - I reckon so :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Would be ideal for the Challenge :]

Thanks Guys. I think I will.. If I sounded a little overly excited about this post it's because your looking at a guy who just ended a 40 post series on winter scenes and it snowed again today.. I was beginning to fall into a rut until I happen to spot this technique. It just feels good to get the juices flowing again..

Looks great, just one thing (wouldnt be me if I didnt say something) Top right there is a branch or something that appears to be hanging in mid air, and is a little distracting. Other than that looks fab. LP

The Truth is Out There

That's why I went and took a nap. So I could look at it again. Your right.. Dead tree all the way up. Shouldn't be to hard to fix.. Thanks for checking up.. :)

looks like you're groovin'!!!!!!! yep...would be great for the challenge!!! i was thinking the same thing, Simon. that branch is somewhat distracting. nice to be out of a rut, huh!!! :)

This should do it.. Nothing like a little clone tool to save the day.. I really really enjoy what I'm doing. Has absolutly nothing to do with ego. It's all about learning.. Getting better at what you really enjoy doing. So if it's a go I'll put it in for the challenge. :)

clone tool is great! and hey...if you're gonna do it then have fun with it! i sure do see your progress too from your first experiment to this one! and thanks for showin' the steps as you go. i find that helpful! if you wanna submit this to the challenge, i would post another reply and change the subject line to read Thumb for Challenge Entry! "with the dimensions no bigger than 150 X 150, and under 15 KB." Hopefully if you change your subject line and make it in all caps, Doug will see it and add it to the challenge. Or i guess you could post a new thread with the image and thumb. not sure which would be better? cindy?

It was fun for me too.. Maybe after or if I figure it out we can do another.. Like to think I can give something back once in awhile.. Major tip tvernuccio.. To me what makes Photoshop work is layers... Everything else is gravey... Again.. Everybody.. Thanks for the help

doing one together sounds like a fun idea!!!! would be very interesting to see a group collaberation!

Nice one! (",)
