Made with a photo taken on a recent visit to Fairchild Gardens and with the new "Winterscape" kit by HotFlashDesigns. The colors in the kit are made to go with typical winter photos (the kind with bare trees and snow). Since we live in the sub-tropics I had to adapt both the photo and the paper and elements. Sis's shirt, a very vibrant shade of geranium pink had to be muted, and the burgundy in the PP and little bird had to be brightened and saturation increased.

Other notes: did my usual thing with making the dot print smaller (merging 4 copies), tilting it, and, as I said above making the colors (all of them, actually) more vibrant. I added a slight amount of large soft bevel/emboss to the little bird for extra shading and contour; I gave the rabbit some dimension with inner glow from center and the same soft bevel emboss but without the highlights (set them to 0). The flash on my camera was not enough to compensate for the strong shadows cast by the tropical early afternoon sun so I resorted to PS techniques to add some more light to our faces. I couldn't fix the dots of extremely bright sunlight streaming thru my coarsley woven hat that speckled parts of my face so I tried to camouflage the effect by adding some glitter (comes with the kit) all around the soft crop perimeter.
