I'm happy to learn several aspects about shadows and perspective. I thank this teaching to my friend Dinasset.
Having in mind these aspects, I did this one .

very well done, and quite innovative in this context

OMG: beautiful bridge. Your creations are always very innovative.
Issabella: lovely horses and butterflies. Very artistic.

Nice one Issabella

Thank you so much Odin. I feel good learning here in the forum to get more perfect results.

Stunning, Issabella! Your best yet in this thread (OK, maybe I only looked back a couple of pages in this BIG thread). The elements, composition, and shadow really make this one pop. May I use it to inspire my students in class? (no money involved, public school, K-12). However, I would first have to learn the technique myself so I can teach my students while their interest is greatest.

PolarBear, it would be fantastic you used it to inspire your students in class. Once you get the gang of it, it's very easy. Ask any doubt you have as OMG, Dinasset, and many members here and myself will help you. Thank you so much for your nice comment.

Issabella! I absolutely love everything about your latest creation; perfect!

Thank you so much Dalia. I appreciate a lot your comment.

Issabella - a very neat and 'nifty' image from you again, demonstrating my favourite expression 'onwards and upwards'

Thank you so much OMG, I like your favourite expression too. It is a good lesson for all life. Thanks.

Isabella, I love your little bird. Shadow is perfect.

All these wonderful recent contributions have obviously done something for my imaginative juices ... there I was sitting lazily on the edge of Darling Harbour (part of Sydney Harbour) as the day started to close in, when I looked up and saw 2 glass hot air balloons coming in to land and they brought Mt Everest and the Himalyas with them ...



... no it was not the mushrooms again!

They are beautiful! But . . . . were you smoking something?

Beautiful, even more. I love those colours and your fantasy in the whole outcome. There are a lot of poetry in what you say, too. Our imagination can do we to live memorable moments.

Olmangrummpy, the balloons look like real jewels. I like them very much

Issabella, I love the little sparrow
Did you create it with an outline illustration or with a colored photo?

I created it using a template in this outcome. It was a little difficult for me to find the open points among so many feathers in the wings.

Pat625 - well done again, I really like those particular glass features in that background setting.

Pat, I can't see your creation, but sure it is nice as OMG says.
I did that swam in glass on the lake.

The swan is beautiful, Issabella. I think what happened with my post is after I saw it after uploading I realized the color and darkness was different than what it looked on my monitor. I deleted it as there were no comments yet. OMG must have been making his reply at the same time. I will fix it in the morning and post again.
