**** Sorry for the resubmission of this one. I did change the image though thanks to some suggestions from + lady-blue. I dunno how successful I was at making the objects appear to be more a part of the image (and not just "plopped down" lol). They're pretty subtle changes so you might not even notice them really. I'm going to put the first submission of this in my scraps so if you want you can take a look and tell me which one you think is better. Thanks for all of the wonderful comments! Enjoy! ****


Right now I'm daydreaming it's summer ... cause I'm sick of this effin snow!!! lol

Ok, this is my third manipulation... woo hoo! This one took me a lot longer than the other two because I kept switching things and changing my mind about how I wanted it to look. I used a lot of people's stock for this... although some things were taken from my own photos. But many s and es to the awesome people who let me use their stock! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I'm happy with the picture, but it didn't turn out ANYTHING like I had envisioned it ahead of time. I started out with pictures of the girl by ~ BeautyDivine-Stock and some waterfalls by *BlueCornerPhotos. I knew that I wanted to do a fantasy type image with the girl looking at something really pretty and "mystical" (like a faerie or something) and then have the waterfalls in the background (only I would make the scene more lush and tropical looking). Yeah... that didn't happen lol. It's not that I was unable to do it... it's just that I wasn't liking the way it was turning out. So after I changed the image about 72 million times, I finally settled on this. Not quite what I originally imagined, but I like it and it's kinda close. Hope you like it! Comments/criticism/suggestions are always welcome and much appreciated! Also, you should go visit the artists whose stock I used... they have a bunch of awesome stuff up on their stock and main accounts. I'm sure they would appreciate any nice comments you have... or even just the visit!
