Description Here's the most recent illustration I've made. I've been thinking LONG and hard before I finally finished this. And one day I just conjured up these magical looking flowers..surprising myself again. Those look nice, don't they?

I admit though the execution for this one could be a bit better. Execution isn't very well if you look at it up close. But still, I like it.

Thanks to for the permission to use his photo here: [link]
I hope he likes it too. The lines for the title here is from the song "Old Pine" from his favorite artist, Ben Howard.

Program Used: Photoshop
Tools Used: Pen tool (vector), Layer Masks, Brushes (used it to add the gradient-like effects to the layer masks), and adjusted the brightness and contrast

This is quite serene and beautiful, those gorgeous little flowers really help bring an atmosphere to the piece. You've also done great job with your colour choice and composition

Wow! Execution is great - I really like the simplified flowers and plant life in general. Great cascading of colour grading, too! And the composition is remarkable: The person is looking out at an "empty" (still beautiful) world, while near but behind her/him life and diversity explodes...
