Kindred Spirits
Uploaded: October 17, 2007
I created this image in Corel XI and Picasa2 by layering a shot of the moon and one of a crow that I mirrored onto a starry background. I then used warm temperature on the moon and cool temperature on the crows and edge preserving smooth on both for color and effect.
