Creative Portraits - Sitting Pretty
Well Steve I managed to use the title.
I've had this one for absolutely AGES, and could never get anything I liked out of it.
I hope this is better than other attempts I've done.

The first is the original resized for here.

Full size original version here:-

Larger version of my try here:-

All thats left now is to get those creative juices going - enjoy.

Peter

Re: Creative Portraits - Sitting Pretty
Sorry this has taken me a while to respond, I've not been well. My wife says it's ManFlu, but I think it was much worse.

Anyway they're all very nice. I think I need more practice now.

Only a month surely it's more than that. Mind you my poor wife keeps referring me to a taxidermist - not sure what she means.

Thank, you, Janet. It was done mostly with my PST 102 tutorial.
