Generic background made with the Gradient Tool and manipulated with flaming Pear plugins. Drop shapes added in Photo Impact, a Windows stand alone program. Added Little Blue, Dragonfly and Egret. Finally, the Snow free action from Dave Seeram, at a low opacity. Free actions are at the bottom of the page here: http://www.photographybb.com/actions/
Happy Mother's Day to all, mothers and children :)
This is very good Fabs! Lots of work, I bet! It looks like a watercolor painting with all of the contrasts, (wet on wet, wet on dry and dry on dry) plus the snow, which looks to me like the watercolor painting technique of sprinkling salt onto the wet paint, which forces the color pigment away, forming the little spots. Nice.
