Nice work Tricia. Love the outcome.

Thanks Kay and Mary. This was my first use of Photoshop as a paint pallet, and I had a BALL doing this. I hope others will appreciate it, but even if they don't, it was very satisfying for me to do. I'm anxious to see how others react to it. You two have both been very encouraging and welcoming to this newbie here.

Great work! I was looking through the digital darkroom entries and this really stood out!

Really nice cartoon effect. Did you do the painting with a mouse or use a graphics tablet?

A mouse is like painting with a shoe. LOL! It's done with a graphics tablet. :)

Thanks Alice. It was fun, and the first time I attempted anything remotely like this. So thought, what the heck, let's show it to my toughest critiques here at Betterphoto.com.

Congratulations on 2nd place! The photo is fun and imaginative and it's nice to see it in the winner's circle!!

Thanks Janet!!! I was excited to be a finalist. I never expected to get a second place!!! This feels awesome!! Especially since this is my first work of this type. I have to thank a dear dear friend and extremely talented artist, Xan Blackburn, for teaching me this technique, and mentoring me on this type of digital artwork. It's given me a whole new fun way to be creative beyond the photography itself.

Thanks everyone. Look for a new one to be added this weekend, and look for my website to be completely updated (NO MORE COPYRIGHT WATERMARKS...YAY) soon. I'm working diligently on redoing and reselecting my entire gallery.
