I agree, that is very cool looking. I can see that you used the trails plugin, but was wondering how you created the original pattern. Just a reminder, the poll closes tonight, so get your votes in. Call your friends, call your family, sign up your dog and get those votes cast!

I really like the raccoon. The fur texture is very well done and realistic. I hope to see you add more to the image. Some more of the body, the front legs, and a nice foliage background would make this an outstanding piece worthy of the Galleria.

Very good start ! Nice color combinations. AA's Assistant, Alias, and Feather plugins would be very helpful to reduce the jaggies and rough edges. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Welcome to the PdN Forum !

Brilliant 4th of July piece BB. Very clever ! It would make a great poster. Nice photo work too. The photos of the watermelon and forks are very nicely done. You have real talent with a camera.

I didn't know you were so good at faces! The little Russian Dolls and now the Medusa! Wow, very good job! I love it !

Flow is a very pleasing piece to look at. Very smooth and relaxing.

Holy smokes ! Shades of The Wall ! Awesome ! Good to see you back and with such an inspiring image!

Oma ! A very beautiful abstract! Only one problem with it, now I'll have Eric Burton's voice in my head all afternoon! That's not so bad with such a great song though. Such a beautiful piece of art. I'm sure every Animal's fan would be "blown away" by it. I'd love to see it as a poster under my black light

@ L3ron No, I can't. That is because of the new entry method we are trying out. I think you should be able to figure it out by reading the posts. @ jerry533482, Yes. I will resize it to 1200 wide because it will be going in my photobucket account before it's entered. All entries will be kept anonymous, so to insure that no one can see who made an image by the link, it will be put in my photobucket account and titled SAC #X, the X being the number that it came in as a PM. @ Sarkut, yes it was. Should have been 1600 Wide. Keep in mind though that I will be resizing it to 1200 wide before it goes into my photobucket. That way over the long haul, it will not add up the bandwidth used for my account. This is all still in the trial stages, so things could change. This was the best way for me to keep the entries secret. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Poll is up ! Vote now !

All submissions are in ! Poll will be up later ! Please check back to vote ! Poll is up ! Vote now !
