Hola Conquistadora de Collages!Y gracias!
Good point,Steve!(It was my first real foray into imageready,and when I found out it only tweens in straight lines,I had to improvise!And if you take a magnifying glass,and look reallllly closely at the backhoe driver,you might just see a certain moggie...)

Steve, thank you for the input. You're totally right about the perspective - but I didn't see it before you pointed it out... Guess it's back to the drawing board for me

Congratulations to Char and Michael for receiving titles this week. Well deserved.

Alice you don't disappoint. I knew you'd tell Steve that Raffy was driving!!

Steve maybe my entry turned out so convincing because it's so bloody hot and humid here that I needed to have something convincing enough to cool myself down!! I wanted to be there. I used 3 pictures for that one and it's hard to tell where one starts and ends. The mountains in the back ground were from another picture and also some of the foreground is water from the scene with the moutains, but lightly showing through. Sadly when I went to look back at my work I'd save my 'pickle' gherkin with the same image name as the psd so I've lost my layered version.

You were right about the metalic curves effect steve. I've know this challenge is over, but I managed to get the tools back as a seperate layer (good old magic wand tool) and tried what you said.

Steve, thanks again for your comments, it would have benefited as you point out if it was adjusted using curves.

For me the critiques the best part! It really helps to improve your skills. I hope you continue to join in. Don't worry, Steve is never nasty with his critiques. I find looking at each entry while reading the critique is very helpful also.
