I have been playing around again with the software. :).

As I sit here, and type this out, it's snowing again, and we have a weather advisory issued. :( It seems just about everywhere this year there are many weather issues, I sure hope mother nature changes her attitude soon. :)

Thank you for your comments.

I love the artistic treaments you applied on this butterfly. Before you know it, the real butterflies will return and all will be well. Hang in there friend!

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

Nice effects used on the original and it now looks like a beautiful painting. Hope the weather situation improves soon.

Sorry to hear your still being plagued by snow Tigz, but things can only get better now, really like the paint effect you've applied here.

I have a couple of photographs that would benefit from it, send me a pm if your interested uploading a Phlossy manip on your gallery.

You are getting better with each manip, Tigz.
Now if you could make all the snow go away, you would be on to something.
I like the texture you used for the background. Great work.

I love the background on this Sandi - it sets off the butterfly and flowers so well. We woke up to another 6" of snow this morning and plummeting temperatures - going below zero again tonight. I'm waving a white flag!

This is a very pleasant, slightly whimsical, Monarch portrait. The essence of a painting is very strong here and gives the piece a timeless quality that seems to be missing from a mere photograph. I find it strange how we value images differently, depending on whether it appears an actual human put brush to paper or not. You've simulated the handmade effect electronically, but achieved the mood of a painting, so kudos for your wonderfully successful creation. Oh, and we still get a little sunshine here on the left coast. Why not come on over and stay awhile?

I really like this manip Sandi - it has a beautiful metallic look - excellent.

I saw a poor new monarch in my garden hanging on to a cornflower today. It would not have lasted long in the early bitter cold we are experiencing.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
