Caruso, (braces) was kind enough to allow me the use of his lichens for a background. You can see it here. I found this lady in fontplay.com and she had received all her shots, so I figured it was safe. Let me know if you detect a rash.

Caruso is quite the Opera fan and I could picture him singing to this lady in the audience. She is also a mannequin so the quality of his singing would not be an issue. I also used one of my textures to mix with Caruso's to try and dilute the fungus.

For those of you that have not discovered a recent post by sonyatod, you can see it here. If all of us could have just a smidge of his humility, we would be the better for it.

Tick, this is outstanding, and will be a fave for me, your use of textures is nothing short of perfect. The link to Sony's post is most deserving, that is one of the most thought provoking, priceless images I have ever seen on Caedes, I'm glad you provided the link to it. Tigz♥ =^..^=

I watched her sing in Aida at La Scala in Milan. I recall her face was a little clearer. Must be the Milan smog. As they say at the opera, BRAVO!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I agree with Jim, you've really brought her to life and I really like the textures chosen and the illuminescent quality of the colors...great work SOT.

Perfectly done OFT (Owd Fella Tick). I've read in the above comments that you've brought her to life, so I was patiently waiting until I got a 'steamy' screen because of her breathe, but that didn't happen. Hope however that her voice is okay so that Steve and she can perform a duet, lol.

Thanks for the link to Sonya Todorova's image ass well. I agree for more than 100% what Sandi has said in her comment about it!

Regards, SEA.

PS: I got 'salty' lips again today (lol). Saturday you'll see the result.

What can one say, Tick...your textures are always superb. The rose tones and diagonal positioning is quite masterful.

This is an excellent work of art, Tick.
The colors and the textures are beautiful .
I also will encourage everyone to take a look at Sonya's " The Living Saint of Bulgaria ", it is quite a image and story .
