for the music


Pat you sure have a way with animal shots. This little guy is adorable and I love the music.

The black and white was a good choice and the blue eyes also but the star ruins it for me. I find it very distracting as is the colored border. Try it without the star and the blue border and let me know what you think. Dale

  I did it as a joke Dale,my husband said he couldn't even see the star lol, here it is without. I just had to delete a layer.

Must run. See you guys in a few hours, do you like it now? I love the music too!

Debbie, do you have PSP, it is a picture tube I put on the eye.

  Pat... can I mail you Teagan so I finally get a good shot of her LOL... or do you do old tempermental, scardy-cat Siamese?? I love the shot... and as I am about to embark on another journey to the Lone Star state... I certainly appreciated the music. Although the Star, may not be apparent... there is also a line that says shine out at me... and thats what I thought you were intending! Wonderful as usual Pat~S!~

  LOL Joan, mail me Teagan lol. This was a long distance shot, the puppy wasn't even posed, just happened to be looking my way. I was able to clone out the lead and the owner's jeans.

It is gorgious ins't it, I also changed the title, put in that line about the star shinind downn on me.

Thank you for your kind words.

  Hi Pat. I really like this much better. It is such a great shot and the blue of the eyes is just the accent it needs to make it stand apart. Lovely. Dale
