Description

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.

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. #5939623
