Just playing with one I created ages ago and rediscovered. 

In this case the 'Snow' (Leopard)' is on the outside of the Globe, looking in........   :P 

A fun composite of various elements - a snow leopard, a globe made from flowers and using the sphere filter, manufactured reflections and various lighting and brushed effects.

I like to play with an image until I feel it is where I want it to be.

What a delightful and different creation Carol!! Just love the imaginative blending of two totally different images to make a wonderful fantasy of color and light. It is mystical, symbolic and mesmerizing-just love it! Like the Snow Leopard, I just want to keep looking and looking and looking...... (and welcome back to P&DA- so nice to see you here again...) :)

The snow leopard is the star, and the globe and reflection are the icing. Seriously, the face and eyes of the leopard in that lighting are outstanding. And I agree totally with "play(ing) with an image until (you) feel it is where (you) want it to be." You obviously followed that notion here, because the color and clarity of this image speak volumes. Beautiful work, Carol! Bravo!

Oh my, Carol, whatever it is that you're smoking, I want some! :lol:  VERY creative indeed. I like the balance and the SL staring at the globe is on point. Overall a very striking and pleasing image.
Regards,

Des

Thank you Gary, you obviously don't realise what an inspiration you were in the early days of P&DA!  :wink:
