very nice author

quite different approach .. good luck

Cool owl mask

Great idea, but really look at the colors of the edges on the original pic...the edges of the tree form wouldn't be whitish. Also, the light source on the letter box in the source pic is opposite the one you've created. Look at the original shadows...

not sure if all the shadows match, but I like this, good use of source.

Thank you CMYK, pearlie. My weakness is working with shadows. I think, the letter box, looks ok (to me). Corrected the color for highlights on tree forms, making a little darker. Pearlie, I moved the shadow on the frame a little higher.

Really nice

Author, please look at the small box you've created. The shadows on the face are on the left. The light source you've created has opposite shadows...

CMYK is right about the shadows. Just try and adjust the shadows on the box going the other way. GL

Tweak on the shadows and this will be a killer entry

Thanks again guys: CMYK, I appreciate your suggestion about shadows on letter box. Sometimes I try to do things in a hurry, that I forget the minimum details. Learning from you all, good luck!

Excellent
