Easter photos - and another irresistable opportunity. I have no idea why he runs around flailing his arms like a monster. :?

RE: Smoke effects - I use a combination of things and a lot of trial & error. I have a smoke filter from EyeCandy that works ok for some things. For this image, I used the EyeCandy smoke filter, blurred it and erased parts of it with successive passes of a 30% eraser. Another part of the smoke was from the Render/Clouds on a new layer, change blending mode to overlay and again, selectively and sucessively erase parts. I also used the Diffuse Glow on top of the background image and then used the history brush to remove some in certain areas.

Hope that helps.

Incredibly cute, and very well done. The addition of the floating feathers works really well.

I'm in awe once again! It looks like you had so much fun with these. This one: WOW!!!!!!!!!!

These are photos that will be treasured forever. I hope you are getting them printed and making a special photo album just for these so you can show them off regularly and often -- to everyone that comes to your house. They are SHOW-OFF worthy for sure!
