Think you forgot to upload it.

Nice! Complete with lens flare. Sometimes when you use lens flare it sometimes ends up just a little away from exactly where you want it. Or it does for me! You probably know already but.....

If you make a new layer above your picture, fill it with 50% grey, blending mode to overlay, then apply your lens flare, you can then move it to exactly where you want it. It enables you to move it around whereas you cannot using the conventional way.

Lisa. you broke the rules of submission but it great. I like the way it refelects light and the overal look of being in glass.

Well, I do know about doing it on a new layer... but you did teach me something - I would never have thought of filling it with 50% grey - great tip.

Many thanks.

You're right Phil, I kind of got excited about Frank's and went off on a tagent. I'll try and control myself next time

I am only kidding. Boy it's fun and you cant help getting caught up in it.

Ok I think I'm ready. Of course just after I finished this the first time the machine crashed!! And naturally I did not have the work saved. Serves me right. Was adding the background ok? I didn't realize until right now...I have to learn to retain better

Obviously I cut and resized, then lowered the opacity on the rose and erased a bit to let the moon through. Added a corona effect using Eye Candy as well as a short perspective shadow to the horse and bug-gy! Finally I added the Soft Painter action taken from the filters and actions thread.
It sort of reminds me of Dr. Doolittle.
I enjoyed this and look forward to doing more. Thanks Lisa, great idea.

Debbie -- I LOVE the buggy especially!! What a creative idea!

Wouldn't this be an exciting ride to take -- takes me back to my childhood fantasies.

phili -- you were VERY good that night, don't worry.

Thanks CJ
That's what put me in mind of Dr. Doolittle. I remember watching when I was small and Rex Harrison riding off on the monach butterfly just stuck in my mind. I haven't thought of that in years.

I only used one lady, but I did use the other lady's hat. (Don't ask what happened to her...I'm not telling...muahahaaaaa!)

Wow Phyllis both you and Debbie are so creative with your ideas. Makes me want to take a second stab at this one.

Very creative indeed!!!!!

Phyliss
Its an oqiginal, great idea, but you had me going, the way you wrote it I thought you might have hidden the missing link in the hat I could not find her so I called the local bobbies to hunt for her. Super job.

Beautiful job Phyllis, as usual.

Not sure which category this should go in.

Or even if it's allowed!
