| | | Re: Calf in the field-Be Creative Peter... I like what you did with the calf, but not to sure I like the effect applied to the foreground grass. JMHO. Great frame! |

| | | Re: Calf in the field-Be Creative Sweetlight nice job there, trouble is he looks very lonely.
Swampy you are right the only good bit was the frame. So tried again.

| | | Re: Calf in the field-Be Creative Ever been to Eureka, Montana???? Lonesome place  If you look way in the back right you can see about 10 elk milling around. He had some company 
Thanks,

By the way, I tweaked the perspective and all, does he look right or out of sorts? |

| | | Re: Calf in the field-Be Creative Sorry Swampy; not creative tonight. Just doing things that I've already have done in the past.
DCSPecial's Ice4, GREYCstoration, Amphisoft Thread (blended in to reduce some the the curly noise), some white balance adjustments, some selective smudging. Used GIMP's Glass Effects filter (two blended layers with different settings) to create the checkered canvas). Also some bumpmapping.  |

| | | Re: Calf in the field-Be Creative lkroll,
On my screen the feet are a bit blown-out but I really, really, really, like the hair on the body, it's awesome, almost real for a young calf but very painterly strokes and swirls. What about just doing some low opacity strands of gray hair in that "wither type" hair on the feet. It's almost a masterpiece.

| | | Re: Calf in the field-Be Creative lkroll I like the beast, when I looked at this full screen, my room turned GREEN. Did you irradiate that with some plutonium or what???
(I was looking for one of those Smilies with sunglasses on, but couldn't find one, so dizzy will have to do.)
But like I said the calf great.
