This must not be viewed inThumbnail view, to see detail.There was a lot involved
in the making of this one. I used my own photo, for the Tiger Lilies. The Tiger
Eyes are from http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=download&id=926897
I started with a gradiant layer, added a brush with layer effects.Extracted
the part of the scale I desired. Did some clone, and painting, to achieve the
desired reflections. Make the crystal Glode, in 8 steps, added the lilies, and
did adjustments. Extracted eyes, and did adjustments. Added the extra hand brush
stars, added layer style, glow etc. Merged down layers, used sperize filter to
make Lilies, and eyes rounded. merged all, did more adjustments. Added
shawdow.Lots of blending, feathering. lots of layers involved, to create this,

I am a beginner at Phtoshop,so go easy. :) The Picture of the Bird is my
original, adjusted with hue and saturation. Then I extracted the snail, from
source image, and after a few warps, and adjustments, I added a light technique.

good work. Very authentic. Lighting and blend is exceptional.

Used my own Background image. Removed name on label.Extracted candles. Extracted
limes. Added new drop shadow. Cloned out Pepper, added another salt. Cloned out
background of original image. Did some blur. Added more light to flames.
adjusted, image. Lots of layers, and some use of smudge tool.

Mr Big [lvl 14] [vp 1000] [ 196]:

In the background you used, the top left was dark, which gave the bench some perspective. However, in you finished copy, there is just an odd section, which confused me to begin with as to what I was looking at.

author:

You are right, It would have looked so much better, if I would have made it dark.This is the kind of advice I need to help me get better. And I will do some work on the limes. I will try and fix it. Thank you.

I used my original image, extracted the frog.Adjusted hue and saturation, on
first and second layers. Set opacity on overlay, and erased some parts, so
little froggie could show through better. Merged all layers, and adjusted
sharpness, and hue, and saturation, until I had the effect I disired. Added
slight Light. Applied a Filter

I'd go without the red text... Or write it in the same font and colour as the "look right"...

I guess with the red text, I was thinking the principals, of design conserning color, represents mood. Was just remembering as a student, when my papers were corrected,
