Wow, this is really lovely! there are so many beautiful details to discover!
it shows how much effort you have put into this, and it has really paid off!
nice idea to combine a winter scene in the background with joyful spring elements in the front. i especially love the mushrooms!
this is a great example how stock resources can be used. thanks for including my stock too.

Bloody hell I see what you mean about the stock, my mind actually broke for a moment when I saw the list of credits, I don't think I've ever seen a pic with so many stocks used!

Anyway, it's really beautiful You've edited all the pictures together so well, I would never have thought you'd used so many stocks in that pic, just shows how well you've edited them

DemoraFairy In reply to CearaFinn [2009-02-20 15:12:26 +0000 UTC]

I can imagine it would, but yeah I wouldn't want to have to ask all of them! And the chances of them all saying yes are pretty slim anyway.

Wow, this is positively crammed with details, all arranged in a masterful way. It's beautiful, especially since one would think so much stuff in such a small space would be awkward but it all fits perfectly!

CearaFinn In reply to PyromaniacFeline17 [2009-01-27 07:43:27 +0000 UTC]

thankyou! i'm glad you think it all works out originally this piece was half the height but i needed more foreground to fit the 'Spring' theme in & no carpet of moss is complete without a few mushrooms & furry critters!

PyromaniacFeline17 In reply to CearaFinn [2009-01-27 15:42:33 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome and of course not Furry creatures make everything complete!
