I cannot BELIEVE I'm the first one to comment on this gorgeous, striking photo! It's absolutely wonderful! Truly dynamic, with a very magical aura and perfect composition/coloring. The mood is so rich, the textures great. Very, very nice! #402310Gary Lange March 03, 2006
Wow, great PS work here, Diana! This is a beautiful image with nice reflections. #2491896Diana L. Ralph March 03, 2006
Thank you Nadya and Gary for your kind comments. I had some fun creating this image... but I keep wondering if I like the sun in the image. I love the moon, but not so sure about the sun...hmmm. I love playing with PS - it seems limited only by my imagination. #2492648Kay Beausoleil March 08, 2006
Love the surreal quality to this smashing image, Diana! And if it were mine, I'd keep the sun because it balances the image. Might try making it a skritch smaller just to see, but it's great as is. #2510474Diana L. Ralph March 08, 2006
Thanks, Kay! I also toyed with the idea of diffusing and softening the top part, but I could play with it forever! At some point, I need to say enough. It's hard to know when to say enough. Thanks for your advice on keeping the sun. I'll keep it! (And might try making it smaller). #2510510Sherri Conley March 17, 2006
Very, very magical and surreal ~ well done!! #2541899Corinne M. Thompson April 02, 2006

Thank you Corinne. #2600707Diana L. Ralph April 02, 2006
Sorry, Sherri! I didn't realize that I didn't thank you, also for your kind words of affirmation. Thanks - it means alot to me, coming from you, my friend from the past! #2600934Bill Wyatt April 20, 2006
Awesome capture Diana, I really like the special effects. #2666395Diana L. Ralph April 20, 2006
Thanks, again, Bill! This was created without the "flood filter". I created my own in PS. The flood filter makes it a lot easier! #2667168Lorri Shane April 25, 2006
