Very lovely image!

How sweet! Love it! I'm seeing a straight edge on the lower right, right at the edge of the image. Looks like it was partially erased to the edge of the image in PS, and then maybe you nudged it over to the right so it showed back up?

Thanks, Annabat. The edge of some ivy was hiding under the layers window. So glad for your comment.

It looks like a bonsai, with a long trunk... beautiful!

very nice and very creative

Gorgeous work author...I have one suggestion,why u don't try to create maybe 2 or 3 color layers...with colors like this first one maybe should be dark green,blend mode set to hmmm soft light and low opacity,second one,dark brown,blend mode set to color,opacity between 30-50%,and finally maybe,but just maybe some kind of gold color,blend mode set to color,opacity between 15-25%...Just an idea,with that maybe u could achieve some rustic look...best of luck author

Thanks for the helpful comments, erathion. I had already tried several layer combinations, but was losing details in the dove. If I had more time, I would have gone back and not merged layers, but our car died, so spent Friday finding another one. Thanks again.
