Pretty nice result and colors. In fact I'm curious how you got to this flower shape in the first place (is not very clear in the SBS). Good luck!

i used an image as reference....i'll find it and post....

nice

excellent work! i'm just curious how you made the snow.. you could explain in your sbs

thanks elficho, the snow is simple, create a layer and paint with a brush with spacing and scattering, then paint with a bigger brush, finally use motion blur and low the opacity. I hope you understand me.

everything about this is perfect.

Nice that you put origami into a useable and meaningful setting. Nice job, author!

This is great image,my personal favorite....gl

i dunno how you do this..i'm still trying to figure it out..excellent composition

RickLaMesa, first I learned from net search, how to create "Origami Swan". Then I practice it and finally created paper swan. Then I took this swan picture from my mobile cam for reference. See SBS for my hand-made origami. Then I write down numbers on it folded faces for guidelines in PS. For eg. 1 on right wing, 2 on left wing etc. Then I unfold this paper swan and created these numeric guidelines in PS and finally cut and placed my PS screenshot according to these guides.

very good
