Put a wide swath between you and these dark waters or you, too, could end up like the soul who stepped a little too close to the edge.....

Great mood setter is right! Fabulous work Ellen :) #4968626Ellen Powell October 23, 2007
Thanks, Crystal! I'd made an agreement with myself to do housecleaning today. Right. Did that get done? No. But this got done! :) #4968644Crystal L. Craig October 23, 2007
lol! I did that the other night ... clean up dog pooh and mow the yard, or work on the spooky-shootout image? glad to know I'm not the only one :) #4968724Dianna Hauf October 23, 2007
The club has us hooked!!!! Yes, we are all damned to cyber space! Dog poo can wait, yard can wait, house work just plain sux BUT neglect a three yr old and suffer far worse consequences than this pond!!Fabulous spooky work here Ellen! You are GOOD! #4969635

This is definately a great mood setter Ellen! I am looking where I walk! I will have to admit that, I too, have been obsessing over my spooky-shootout image. The guys are in for the battle of the century!!! #4969838Ellen Powell October 24, 2007
Too funny, Dianna and Marta! I guess I have thrown the gauntlet down, haven't I! I think we'd ALL better fasten our seat belts! This month's SSSS is going to be one heck of a ride! #4970656Eloise Bartell October 24, 2007
Really cool effects Ellen. I really need to sit down and play with my software.Eloise #4970695
Ellen Powell October 24, 2007
Thanks, Eloise!! That software is totally addictive and time consuming!!!! I am getting nothing else done!!! Heeeeelp!!!!! I need to make an extra appointment with my therapist..... #4970760Ellen Powell October 27, 2007
Just a warning, fellas. Notice the sex of the lost soul in the Dark Waters? A MALE. Need I say more? #4992361Samantha L. Dean October 29, 2007
Ellen, I love the concept of this!!! Very cool use of the "Man" in the water! Steer clear boys!! WTG and congrats on your EP!!! #4999588Ellen Powell October 29, 2007
Thanks, Samantha. I woke up this morninhg to a million emails- I guess it was going until the wee hours of the morning. Won't have time to read them all but am so glad we have this Krazy Klub!!! #4999960Mitch Spence November 13, 2007
Oooooo,this is wonderful, Ellen. Extraordinary things lurking in your mind and in your PS fingers. House cleaning??? Are we supposed to clean our houses? Don't they just do that themselves? Or maybe we hire guys to do that boring stuff? #5069036Ellen Powell November 13, 2007
Thanks, Mitch! Had a lot of fun with this one. And yes, screw the housecleaning, I say! #5069466Lisa J. Boulden November 16, 2007
Cool! Really cool!Ellen Powell November 16, 2007
Thanks, Lisa- I scared myself with this one!!! #5084850Melissa McCabe December 29, 2007
LOL!!!! I missed this before - priceless!!!! I love your sense of humour Ellen!! -mm #5266933Ellen Powell December 29, 2007
So glad you like it, Melissa. It sure was fun putting it together and learning about layering. (This was for the SSS Halloween contest.) #5266961Laura E. Swan May 02, 2008
Man. I missed out on all the fun. I joined BP and SSS just a few months too late for this one.I LOVE this Ellen! It gave me the creeps afer I read your title and description but was relieved when I read the thread and found out that only BOYS go there! Ha!
This is really cool work. And Yes. It's unanimous. All that other Pooh Pooh can wait. FUN COMES FIRST. Except with the three year old. His Pooh Pooh cant wait.
Once he's cleaned up, Dianna, just put him on your lap while you're at the PC! (Or is that possible with a 3 yr old?!)

Thanks so much, Laura. This was my second of 2 or three journeys into layering. It was a lot of fun and I had a LOT more time back then! #5877052Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
