Description
Due to the wonderful comments left to me by the helpers at I have redone this peice to some extent, and I have to say I am much happier with this one.I am leaving the same description as the first one:
This was inspired by this months theme at
I used tons of stock and lots of layers and fun with transparencies. made with PSP 8, and sized so that it can be a wallpaper (I liked it enough that its on my desktop.)
No brushes were used, just manipulated stock photos
Stocks used:
Model and 2 leaf stocks from [link]
Moon stock from:
2 leaf stocks and 1 smoke stock from

Thank you hun. I remember when I did it I wondered what you thought of it and I assumed it was bad when you never commented...lol...Imj a nutcase

No! It's not bad at all! It's really pretty, and very creative. I think that sometimes I just skim my devwatch and I don't really pay attention to stuff unless something really colorful catches my eye. I need to pay more attention. *hugs*

A-ha! The leafs cut out looking much much better now and I like that you make it slighly transparent as well. The figures now look great as it stands out more compare to before although I don't see anything wrong with what you've done previously. It depend on which mood you like the best. The first version makes me feel that I'm peeking through all this leafs which I think it's not a bad thing. Whilts this version treat the leafs as an ornamental / decoration more. Both seems work for me ^^.
The text look much better now! It doesn't look like a title from gothic movie anymore!
Although - sorry if I'm being so picky - I would reduce the font so it does not look so empowering.
I just love those golden texture. I find it hard to achieve such a nice gold colour like that. Good work!

Thank Juene! Don't be sorry at all. I want to know what people really think to make myself improve, and you're right, I should have left the text smaller.

The stroke around the text is looking far too choppy but honestly, thats my only big problem I see in the image, heck, thats the only small problem I see in the image. Everythings pretty good about the picture, I love the blending you've done to it. The edges of the moon are looking a little bit too, hmm, whats the word, they're looking just a bit low quality at the moment, maybe I'd sharpen that area up since alot of other areas in image are sharp.
You should start looking into Photoshop, much better and will help you make much better (Better than it already is) work, in my opinion.
Nice work, keep it up, maybe go for some spring theme or another season.

Thank you. I will be the first to admit text is not my strong point...lol. It was one of the problems with the previous image.
I do have an older version (I guess...I dont even know what the current version is) of PS, but Ive never been able to really figure it out. Ive used PSP for so long its like an old friend
