    Default Dragon!

    The original photo was a dead stump/snag in the water. I used Photoshop liquefy filter to turn the stump into a dragon and create the sun. Then added splashes of color and painted the eye. Finally, everything went through filter gallery-applied rough pastel and poster edges (lightly). Had a lot of fun with this one. Liquefy is particularly liberating- like playing with putty or something gooey- mudpies? :D

    Thanks....and um, sorry, no! ;) If I was, you'd get so much spam on your site, you'd wish I wasn't. :eek:
    I'm just a bump on a log, thank goodness. The OTHER Cindy Crawford.
