Great job Carla!, You are an artist!,Steve Mescha January 11, 2006
Very interesting piece, Carla! I especially like the attention to detail, like giving the stonework the same light value, and bringing the grass accross the whole front of the image. Is the background a straight shot, or is it also manipulated? It all works together very well :-) #2278160Carla Metzler January 11, 2006
Thank you very much, Vicki, KK, Chris, Sergio, Cleo, Deb, Amalia, and Steve.Steve, I did this picture a little over a year ago, the best I can remember...the background is not a shot at all. I enjoy sketching and will even paint...if I have to! I went into ps and pulled up a new blank, hmm, what is that called? Anyway, I painted a sky. Then I added the stone work and grass to new sky background, finished it off with the light. I think that's about all I did. #2278315
