so fantastically well done.. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!

I like , gl.

Really nice work using the two programs!

Many thanks to all for the support

Congrats

very clever author.. good luck

My thoughts exactly. Good idea, author.

Now that is the softest rose I have ever seen, even the spines look friendly, great creative spin on it = )

'Feathery' roses - quite different! You might want to load high resolution, but even without it, the background could use a lot of cleaning up. GL

You gave life to a almost fading rose! And I give you congrats for the patience to do it only with mouse (it sucks, it's difficult...).
Do you know Genius Tablet? It's as good as Wacom but cheaper. I had a Japanese Wacom, but... it was stealed... Then I bought that one, because doing PS without a tablet!... oh Gosh!

its awesome.... really good....
add a high resolution image if you want mods to give you a good numbers...

fav

you can have my wacom tablet.... its not helping me out lol

Thanks for the comments guys :]
Added a high res img. (didn't know I had to check the box for that, heh).
I could probably clean it up more, for sure. But then again, I'm in no way good at drawing freehand. It was a bit hard for me to tell what was going on in parts of the source img.

@erikuri: Thanks for the tip! I've seen some cheaper ones out there, indeed. Think I'll buy one next week. Would make my life so much easier! And it's about time I got one

@Keiley22: lol. Sure, do you send to norway? Hehe

Thanks again for being nice to my first entry.

great use of smudge tool...well done author

Really lovely effect! It's a good thing you didn't overuse the mixer brush, you've kept a lot of the detail. Well done

cool

simple, but very good outcome!!!!

NIce one. Good work on the shadow at the rope. Maybe, the clothespin are too sharp. Maybe, adding some blur would be better.. Good luck on this!

Agrees with blurring the clothes pins. Also try to uplod a higher res so we can see teh details of your chop. It's simple idea, but clever.

I downloaded the small rez. . If I have time. I will make it again in a high res.

good first entry. Add a step by step guide.

good work

very good work for first entry.

great idea , just spend more time on it
must have sbs (step by step guide)

Nice idea of your first Entry Author...G/L.

i don't see the source and you don't have an sbs

Clever use of stock! Maybe try adding a background, just like a sidewalk or something.. nothing major. Good luck!

Good job, author! Not sure why the back tire shadow is so much smaller than the front. Nice use of source and good job!

Wasn't sure HOW to do the SBS, when I figure it out, it will be here.

the chain is too flaccid! cool!
