Description
Been trying some other styles - especially ones that are not of actual people or characters. I find that making nature/landscape manips are the most difficult...I either make them way too busy or way too simple lol.. this one is my favorite of the practice runs

Wow, this is definitely beautiful - I'm not one for photomanipulation, but this sure impresses me! It's like something out of a science fiction book; with the large purple moon in the sky. I love the way you merged the moon image with the general cloudy orange sky as well.
Of course, with everything, I like to give some criticism.
But hey - if you wanted to pass of an "out of this world" feeling here, you sure got me.

Unfortunately with manips we have to work with what we are given resource-wise. The stock photo wasn't centered completely - I did no cropping at all. So that part I unfortunately couldn't fix (but I do agree with you - the cut off of that left branch drove me batty). The blob is (I believe) just a shadow from the bush - again - it is in the original photo
Thx for the comment and the compliment luvie

that is so sweet of you to say!!! i do put a lot of effort into it, and i have to sort of shrug off the fact that stock doesn't really get comments/favs very often

But I don't think that. I just think it is strange that you always respond to my comments so fast.... *coughstalker*

I don't really love words on images, whether it's on the frame or on the image itself... part of my OCD thing, but this one has kind of a personal, home-y sort of feel to it with the way you did this. I don't mind it one bit! The image itself is ultra stunning and I think your new technique with this landscapy thing has served you very very well
