Shutter or Windowframes help

[Kraellin]

You did a grand job of it, Craig!

thank you

ah, photoimpact. ok.

re your lighthouse pic, i like the overall composition and colors. and the guy with his head partially turned is good. one of my observations is also with scale, but not the window. the guy is closer to us than the pic of you, but your head looks larger than his. i'd scale that part down.

the other thing is, what are those blueish streaks? fog? inside the lighthouse? they seem a bit out of place.

i like the ship's wheel. an oil hurricane lantern would have worked also.

well on your way to a very nice piece, though

Oh, even though I built the French window pane in PhotoImpact, I saved it as a .psd if anyone would like to have it. Since I originally built it in a green colour, you may only be able to use levels to darken it. I don't think the colour or texture can be changed.

You're right, Craig, about the hurricaine lantern, it would have doen well there.

My scaling is off, and I'm giving thought ot perfecting this effect, but not TOO much thought today! There are so many things I can do with this effect and just the fact that I can perrom it part-way, is enough for me right this minute.

I'll need more patience and time. The greyish streaks? Yes, that's fog. Perhaps an opposing window is open in that lighthouse letting all that fog in???

The idea has potential, though! You are welcome to the French window panel if you'd like to play round with a project you have going. I saved it as a .psd.

Thank you, Craig! I've still a way to go before I've got the idea on track, though.

Interesting image Maureen, to give you some further thoughts I've attached one I did of my granddaughter - used 3 photos to create the image. Back View, Front View and the window (a backdrop from Owens Originals).
