Description This piece was made thinking to my childhood memories   about Nils Holgersson and his journey across Sweden, on the back of the goose Martin.

This is where they should be returning home.....
In my imagination:
Martin would say "Come on. Lets go!"
Nils - "  "
Martin - " "
Nils  - ""
Martin  - "  ".....and so on.

I know that didnt happen in the book , but would've been funny

I never heard of the books but they sound cute. I really like how the goose came out, as well as the leaves and the overall surreal look of the deviation. The only suggestion I would have would be to have the little boy blend into the deviation more. He looks to bright compared to the rest of the manipulation. Having said that, I do like how this came out.

Here are two good tutorials by the Photomanipulation CV Aeirmid who has some great journals with helpful hints:
Manip Academy 9: Lighting with Curves AdjustmentsWelcome to Manip Academy!
Achieving consistent lighting in photomanipulations can be really challenging. A lot of times, we have parts of our model image that need to be lighter while other parts need to be darker. Let's say you need to adjust your model image for a light source that is coming from the right. Rather than using the dodge and burn tools, I use curves adjustment layers. Click on the adjustment layer icon in the layers palette in Photoshop (it looks like a half-filled circle), or click Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves.
Put this above your model layer. In the curves box, dragging the curve up and to the left will make the image lighter, and dragging it down and to the right will make the image darker. Make it lighter, with the intensity as needed to make your model blend with your light source.
I realize that this makes your entire model image lighter rather than just the part of it you want to lighten, but I'm abou  Manip Academy 5: Blending Modes and ManipsNote: This Manip Academy tutorial is from LadyEvilArts. It is not my work. Please direct any questions, comments, love, or gratitude her way. Thank you!
Blending modes and photomanipulations
Few words about most used blending modes (bm), how they affect the image (positive and negative moments).
First of all I want to remind about the option of creating layer filled with neutral colour for chosen blending mode. Holding Alt press icon "create a new layer", Photoshop will show you window like this:
Just select desired bm and check "fill with ... neutral color". Sometimes it's very helpful.
Second, when you use blending modes for toning for example, use option "new adjustment layer - solid colour" instead of filling new layer with bucket. Solid color doesn't increase size of your psd file as much as pixel layer does.
And third - brush, clone stamp, history brush, bucket/gradient, all these tools have option to select bm i

I've learned SO much from other deviants, tutorials and blogs about hints, how to use brushes, etc. I am thankful to be able to use PS Elements joining the manip community late in the game. I had an art program that went with my Apple 2GS a few decades ago but never got the hang of it and didn't have anyone to go to for help. Thankfully, with so much help out there on the interwebs new styles of art are so much easier to learn.
