Spring Bounty
Uploaded: May 16, 2008
All of the elements of this picture were shot at different times, and different locations. I then combined them using Photoshop. I used a variety of filters to get the cartoon illustration effect.

This is truly a work of art, Charles!!! It must have taken a lot of time to create this beautiful image!!! #5932963Renata Gusciora May 16, 2008
Lovely colours and presentation,Charles! #5933346Chuck S. Frizzell May 18, 2008
Thank you, Billy, Susana, and Renata, for your kind comments. It was my first attempt at something like this. The grass took the longest, I used the Photoshop Grass Brush 134 and brushed in each individual blade, one row at a time, until the foreground hill was created. I then reduced the size of the brush, and brushed in the hill behind, and blured it. #5939623Vladan D. Djordjevic May 18, 2008
