I love to try alternates, thanks for the suggestion Fab:

These frogs are about 1 inch long and ocassionally can be found in the daylilly patch in my back yard.

Four images have been combined, used photomerge, Extensis Mask Pro 3, Flaming Pear (Addict Version) Artistic Dry Brush, and who knows what else. This may be a case of too much, although it did not take a lot of time.

Nicely balanced composition and great colours. Does the 'addict version' include a timer that locks your PC after
one hour? If so I want one!!! :lol:

Sensory overload for me on this one, beautifully done, but I would loose one of the flowers, probably the red one.

Of course, in Art, that's totally subjective and a matter of taste. How about trying and reducing the opacity in the flowers??????

What's the addict version :shock: , it sounds interesting... :oops:

[quote="fabiolad"]WOW Mike, you are fast and furious!!!!!

I learned after my first series of ps mistakes to save the parts until you decide on what you like. the repost took about two minutes since I saved the various layers to "play with". Thanks for your suggestions 8)

It must be a Leo thing, because while I love the repost - I love the original more!! The vibrant colours, the composition and the fact that the two frogs are different (from the thumbnail I thought it was the same one flipped)! - all make this one for me. I can see this on an exclusive tile design - for some reason it shouts that it should be done on fine ceramics!! 8) 8) 8) 8) :D

Love frogs and I love flowers so if you put them together that means the more the better. 8)
