    Default Shadow Box Blizzard

    I started out with the base image, and went from there...as I learned more about the features in CS5..the image became more and more as you see it below.
    Thanks for Snow Action ...D, saved a lot of time
    I hope the snow shows well, in smaller version, I see now some of the colors need to work on that
    I used Transform Skew, Distort, Perspective, and finally started trying to use Gradient tool...
    I must admit CS5 is a keeper, anyone still using CS4 should seriously think about getting it. I held out :o now I wonder why?
    Thanks for viewing

    Wow. Paul, that is so cool! The snow is sort of hard to see against the lighter colors, but I love that peach (?) color. The base image is wonderful.

    I'm holding out because I just spent the $200 for the upgrade on new gaskets for the car. (And it's been like this ALL YEAR LONG! Time for a new year!)

    Very fresh and inventive image! I wouldn't mind seeing his eyes a little bit better in the top part of the image. The snow works for me but the box is what blows me away...that is waaaay cool!

    Paul, The first image is very creative and well done. I like seeing your imagination in full swing. The way the shadow looks at the base is cool. I agree the snow is barely showing but I think it softens the image just enough. Well done.

    Great concept, Paul! Very different and creative. I like the second version. The sunset colors and overall darker tones appeal to me. The snow adds a great touch. I would just move the shadow a bit so that it's not touching the edge of the box. Nice work!
    God Bless

    Nice work Paul. Great idea to move the shadow to reflect the time of day you reposted :)
