I really like this one Tracy. I love the kind of fairy tailish feel. I think that you have made something unoriginal, original (that's my kinda style! lol). Favorites.
That's a very fine manipulation, Tracy...I love the swirls and overall arrangement of the image.
I also think the black and white looks very effective, too. I don't actually think it's a bad photo, but I'm glad you played with it, anyhow...the result is beautiful, well done!
If I say I like this alot and you come behind me and say you aren't happy with it, I'm gonna get mad! lol Anyway, being a firm believer in so many photos having something worth value to save in them, I do present you with the "save an image" award of the week. ;) Tasteful extra touches and a well laid out composition. After seeing this, I just may have one for you.....
I'm with BJ, I might have more than one or two photos if you still feel like playing around. Like the cook who can come up with something delicious even when there's nothing in the house, you have done a similar thing with your art. Your creative spirit will take you all kinds of places.
Very well done.Had to come back on this one. I think if you would add a little bevel to thee scrolls and loops that are drawn in it would give it a bit of a 3D and bring out the depth a little more. Great job.
