I used the Replace color to change the color of the leaf a bit to more match a feather color. I then Clipped a peacock from a picture I took at Silver Springs and put it over the leaf, then clipped an eye off the tail feathers and duplicated it and resized and rotated it randomly. Grouped the eyes together and made a vector mask and added a gausean blur to them to help blend them. I then duplicated the body of the peacock painted it black and distorted it to appear as a shadow then masked it and added a gausean blur to blend it. (5 years and 3659 days ago)

Thank you so much. If I give enjoyment to you, then this was worth all the work that went into it.
Outstanding piece of manipulation,creativity is off the chart, I just wish I could see more of the original Source image in the end result instead of referring back to the S.B.S
Absolutely beautiful!

Amazing and very beautiful work

Beautiful!!! Really nice job author...hopefully one of these day I could be as good as you.
Very nice flowers! One suggestion for the vase. It draws to much attention because of the structure and colours. A nice smooth glassy vase in one colour would make this a lot better, you would get a nice contrast between the flowers and the vase. You could do it with this vase you have now I think (Blur it, plasterize filter and than add light with a white brush). Don't get me wrong, it's a nice piece anyhow! Good luck.
Thanks Ressiv for your comment. The vase is just as I wanted it since it still has something of the textures in the rooster's neck feathers. Otherwise, I would have given it a smooth finish.
Amazing!
A well deserved first place!
