For a first attempt, it is more than wonderful. It looks like an oil painting. Great work and love your gallery. Keep on the great work.

Cool and brilliant design, dear Susan!!!bravo!V:DDD

Thanks so much you all How do I get it bigger....I re sized it to this but don't know anything about re sizing and it never comes out on the art gallery front page where one can see it,but a thumbnail does, scratches head laughing.....any helpful hints send me an IM And don't forget to spring your clock forward Spring is indeed here:) Love n hugs Susan~

Fabulous, a stunning image..very excellent work.

Amazing beautiful work, excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susan, This is very nice , a bueatiful spring flower comning through, it is very well done my friend...........p.s. did you get the picture , I sent and what did you think, if we need to do more to it let me know.....................Hugs John

Beautifully Done. Love the colors. Aloha

Susan, this really is lovely and the flower texture looks so realistic. On the upload page, it tells you the sizes and as for the file size, I had to rack my brain to begin with. It isn't easy, just to let you know, you can have dimensions of your image, up to 4,000 x 4,000 in size, but a file size, no greater that 512 kb and it has to be saved as a jpeg. The thumbnail must be no bigger than 200 x 200 and the file size, no greater than 14.9 kb. My advice, is always aim for 1,000 x 900 and that way, the jpeg will save, without the need for compression, which in essence, can cause unsightly pixellation, to your images. For example, my latest posting has NO compression whatsoever and I think the file size, is 409 kb. Any bigger and it would have been a different story. Well done my friend. Hope you're feeling ok. Steve :o)

Really wonderful job on this sweetie...I just love the coloring :O) As for getting it bigger...you just go to Image...and then Image Size...make sure you have Constrain Proportions checked off...and then put in a larger size...you can go by pixels or you can change to percent and tell it to resize to say 150%...and when UR all done just go to File...Save For Web...and select jpg....and adjust the quality as needed to get under 512kb...anyway fab job and HUGE HUGE HUGS!!! ann :O)

This is just lovely and so artistic. I like how it's framed. Really wonderful and vibrant image. So glad to see you are creating in Photoshop and looking forward to seeing more. :o) CC

Beautiful. I love the oil painting look and feel to this. It could very easily become a card or postcard or an advertisement for spring picture. Lovely work :)

My dear Susan - this is very beautiful! Excellent done!**!

Cool effect, Susan! Sorry about your mom...I've got mine moving in with me as soon as she sells her house. Worried about her health and her state of mind. She's 72. Take care and keep playing with your art!!

the frame is cool. Th ewhole image looks like it could be an artistic stamp. A very interesting idea for a photo :)

wild looking color & abstractness!! looks like you had fun with this one... well done :]

This is fantastic hun S love all the wonderful colors and the design S Very spring season S I can see this matted and hanging in a gallery somewhere to be sure S Keep up the excllent werk S

Well done looks like a big butter fly to me !

WOW! Very cool abstract work!! I like the brush work on the frame. Great photoshop work!

Very interesting work. Pic is not recognisable as a photo, but it's an amazing piece of art. Great colors, very vivid. Fantastic brush-like effect, looks almost like an oil-painted surface. bows Incredible work, congrats !

powerful colored flower impression! fantastic abstract work! ;o)

Oh, I love photoshop!!! The possibilities are endless !!! You have done a great job here...have you seen "painted garden" in my gallery? One of the first few I have uploaded here. I hope you do more like this... I love it!

Beautiful, and the more you work with Photoshop, the better you will like it. :)

The colors are really dazzling! :)

Oh Sus! This is really excellent work! It looks very vibrant. I know that Photoshop is one of my favorite programs. Keep working with it, and show us your masterpieces! It 'tis beautiful! :)

hehe cool keep em coming hun you show great flair!!

Lovely results! Bravo!

Ask Evie, I think she uses the same program and is familiar with it. Minor suggestion, shoot for 1000 by 750, 72 dpi. Adjust compression (or quality) to make a pic about 150k to 250k. The size is stated on the final image saved to disk. If you don't see the size, then right mouse click on it and look at it's properties. If you make a pic too large (disk space needed) of say 450k, no-one will look at it. Many images can be reduced a huge amount without noticable drop in quality. You have to begin with a big hi-res pic to start with. A 200x200 pixel image looks terrible (mosaic) blown up. Start big, work down. Anyway, superduper Image here Susan. Looks real professional and artistic. Kudos and keep em coming! Dave :^) VOTE

Wow hon..this is amazingly beautiful..you've really done something special and I hope you combine these creations with your poetry and do a book. That would be so wonderful..and you know..I'd love a signed copy S
