Hi,
I don't know if this looks plain dodgy or ok? I really like the idea, but am not sure if I have the ps skill to pull it off?
Any suggestions? ....

    Cool shot.. :-)


    The ONLY thing I can see that looks 'off' about it (And mind you, i'm no professional.) is the shadow of the wing is a tad more crisp that the shadow the bug its attached to.

    Other than that, I like it. ;-)

    Great idea. I think with a bit more work and a few variations you would have the winner of the challenge. Great job. thumb.gif (my vote at least) :)
    Land on your right foot. Don't forget it!

    Hey Kate, any way to bring down the brightness of the left leaf? It might be blown out, and if it is, nothing to do about it. But bringing it down would let the eye focus more on the insect and the shadow, maybe?

    So did i being an old 'horse person'. Very nice lyn !

    As much as im glad i may never have to ride one again ...i still like the smell of 'em ! Its an honest smell.

    Have to say also..there is a marked increase in the quality of the work in dgrin overall. Amazing to be sharing a forum with such talented people.
