Unbelievably beautiful image, Jill!! Keeps the viewer (at lease me) wondering what's on the other end. Your use of glowing colors is well done.

Beautiful and creative, Jill. You really have to show me the Orton Technique....Pleaseeeee. :-) #3059424

Jill Odice level-classic July 21, 2006

I was turned on to this technique by several photographers using it at another site...If you google "Orton Technique" you will come up with several sites that explain how to do this digotly or with a series of slides if you use film. It's really very simple once you get the hang of it and involves a few different layers sandwiched together and flattened..:-) It gives a fuzzy dreamy quality to your image... #3059546

July 21, 2006

I like the technique!!! Jill, you have proficiently applied and the result is very impressive, #3059841
