Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
Glad my image seems to working now. I could see in Chrome too. It was Safari and DuckDuckGo that refused to show it. Still haven't found out why. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
That's a superb image David. I love the clouds, the entirely believable way the sleigh hovers and a very good loooking St Mick with fine lighting effects. I assume the cherubs have been tied up to stop them from escaping. |

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
My image features cherubs pulling the sleigh. They were created from photographs of a couple of brooches ....... 
I would love to tell you more here but it would be too long a diversion. However they have a history that I think would amuse you all and show you a side of David Mac you don't know. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
Thanks for that David. Very interesting. As I have poor vision it took me a long time to read. It probably took you even longer to type. Unless, of course, you just dictated it to your iPad. I rarely bother with the long literary entries. Life is too short. Howerver, well done. You brought someting into this week's entry which is rarely achieved - atmosphere. |

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
Thank you, David. This image was really screaming Greece Mythology to me. After my very plain first 3D attempt compared to the rest of the gorgeous entries, I knew I had to pull the thinking cap on. With the first entry, I was testing ai videos. I meant to paste the link with it but forgot...lol. http://vimeo.com/1227235043?fl=pl&fe=cm. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Not sure about the video. OK, but something lacking. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Really nice Dennis! Beautiful work! I like the video, all too brief for a good look though, now if it were converted into a looping gif, it would really be something special.

After a good start, the standard of this entry (which should never really have been posted) is testament to how how barrel scrapingly bereft of ideas I have suddenly become this week.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
Incidentally (nothing to do with me) the wall above "Green Dragon " is a neat and unexpected example of pareidolia. Now tell me you didn't have to look it up.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
I didn't have to look it up... I'm one of those people who never sees things like that until someone points it out. I see posts all the time on facebook saying "see the face in the clouds". All I ever see is 'clouds'.
And you thought that I was 'crazy'.

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
Thanks Loyd. The clip is almost a perfect loop. Not advisable to stare at too long. It makes one dizzy...could have been the beers to...
David, I didn't look it up. What's it mean...lol. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
I struggled over this one. Through tired eyes it looks alright. I'll most probably regret it in the morning. Good bidding all. Stay safe. Off to lala land.  _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

I hope not. You have no reason to. It looks great! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
