What I love about this forum is the kind suggestions made to help us improve - I am really impressed by this. Alfred (the Great?) Forns suggested that an outline could be a good idea for my previous post; so I tried to oblige and you'll have to tell me whether it's a more interesting result or not. Used find edges, gradient and various blending changes and a dash of opacity here and there.

Looks like a stained glass window.

A very different image to the other one, I like them both, but probably the other more so. That's only personal preference though I'm sure.

No we're not Cyc of Cylamen Monique.

This is great, looks like a pen sketch on airbrushed, textured paper. I like them both, but prefer this one for it's more abstract quality and colours. :)

Two Killer images :) :) :)

Two different views :oops: :oops: :oops:

First one in the morning, Fresh, light and airy :D

Second one later in the day, after reality sets in and you need something a little abstract. :mrgreen:
Just havin' fun

I like it Monique !!! The image looks more defined and for some reason has more apparent translucency !!! 8) 8) You have developed a beautiful style 8) ... and you are correct we do improve with the suggestions particularly here in DC I applaud that everyone tries to help and nothing is held back !!! Great atmosphere :) :) :)

They are both lovely Monique and its really down to which mood you prefer - the original, softer - more feminine version? or this more masculine, abstract image? :wink: :) 8)

Both are excellent, Monique. My preference is for the first, but as noted -- probably depends on what mood! Either way, both have a wonderful style.
