Secret Garden & Beyond the Door

[ibclare]

My latest manipulation: inspired by a garden door which I had to use in a much reduced size for another work.

The door suits the image really well. Makes you wish you could see what's on the other side.

Ah, you're always giving me a challenge, like the Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe thing. Sigh; I pretty much threw all of those away after 6 attempts, lol.

So maybe I'll show you what's on the other side. Maybe not rose bushes and fountains and benches and cute little sprites . . . Just remember it's almost Halloween and the veil is thinning!

Nice stock selection Clare...

Especially the Pedestal one.. (cough cough) . As SPWA mention, the door fits like a glove. Careful your comps don't become to busy. The waterfall is the focal point i guess, but it covers the image nearly making it difficult to focus on the other elements.

Still loving the pedestal

Cough cough on the pedestal? Have you used it recently? It's been in my Marcus Ranum library quite awhile, lol.

Yes, I see what you mean about the focus. I think I got carried away trying out the brushes!


Here's under the waterfall and into the "garden." Just for SPWA!

Made a few minor changes to it today.

Forgot the credit for the background which is two images blended together.
