Thank you for participating and thank you to all who voted

Just to remind everyone that the Poll for Fave Place will close tomorrow .......

Thank goodness

Thank you for this tutorial @Red ochre - it really got me thinking. I'd never (ordinarily) think of those steps. Thanks for explaining .

A mystical image and very nicely done @AndrewDavid .

Thank you @lynxster4 very much . Missed you on here - hope all is well with you .

Argh! I'm going to keep my head down on here ............. the invasion has begun

Wow! You have been really busy . Such pretty compositions . I've always loved - 3rd one down - that tutorial .

The POLL is now open for voting on SOTW#167 - Favorite Place. It will be open until Saturday - 27th May, 2017 until 2 PM EST - 7 PM UK time. World Clock Good Luck!

Thank you very much @AndrewDavid . Yes, Flowers, Diamonds & Perfume usually do the trick for me. Oh - and one mustn't forget chocolates .

Congratulations @Woodsy - a lovely texture you had there ...... it looked just like Marble. Congrats also to @Maximilian and @MJW . A wonderful array of entries from everyone too . Thanks to @toe_head2001 for hosting .

Sorry everyone - but I am extending the Favorite Competition entry deadline to - SUNDAY 21st May - as I have just learned that I will be away from my computer on Saturday. Hopefully a couple more entries will be posted by then .

That's a mighty impressive city you created. Great use of @BlastWaves tree tute. Happy Anniversary too .

I fell in love with this dragon the second I saw her posted . (I once met three Komodo dragons on a beach one evening - don't think I've run so fast in my life).

Thanks so much @Seerose and I love the little Perfume .gif . Such high praise @Beta0 and much appreciated .

My bad I blame it on my mono contact lenses . Thanks @Maximilian for the heads up.

Tutorials used: Sand - Seascape and Waves

Thank you very much @BlastWave for this tutorial, which is really informative and thanks for taking the time to do it . I too learned something new about using the selection tools like that.

Oh - Mckenna is so cute. I think she may perhaps want to look ferocious, but I would bring her home anytime .

I think you walk, talk and sleep thinking PDN .

Here is where to look when you open PDN. Hopefully it is there for you too . But, from my experience lately, computers seem to have their own minds and do strange things .

@Woodsy - Thank you . My bottles start out (I look at 100's on the internet) with a rough idea, but rarely end up looking what I imagined. They just evolve and I rarely remember how I did what . @hippiechos - it's very kind of you to say that . Ah - the diamonds were a lucky fluke - I just changed one of the flower blending 'modes' and voila . @Red ochre Thanks so much. Yes, I'll need a bookshelf by the end of the year (I'll have to ask @Woodsy for help). Thankies to @MJW, @BlastWave, @ReMake & @LionsDragon for the reps .

News Flash I am extending the time on the "Your Favorite Place" SOTW#167 - until - SATURDAY 20th May. Hopefully there will be more entries by then
