I'm glad the cat has a good home.

Throwing the rocks into the lake to create the ripples is what really drew me, it gave the photo character, well done.
One of the most serene shots you've taken, lovely mood and tones, Just gorgeous to look at - thankyou ~

I know I am asking for too much. :) Congrats buddy! Thank you very much :-) A complete tutorial would be very long to write and I unfortunately can't afford that time, but I made the PSD file available (added the link at the end of my notes). Just disable all the groups, then enable them one by one to see how that was constructed. It should be quite easy to follow, but you can always PM me for some information if needed. It was very generous of you to make the file available Christophe! What a way to give back to and mentor a community of lifetime learners! Thank you very much for your generous offering of the photoshop file!

Wow! Thanks a lot Christophe. That's truly awesome.

You are right, this really lacks imagination. No concept at all, no idea, no nothing (except the wings, of course). I am starting to do landscapes from now on. Or flowers, we'll see.

As always the creative level and attention to detail is outstanding, I loved reading about all the different photos being used and the technical perfection in putting them together is well beyond my skills and imagination. Great stuff, congratulations

The technical aspects of this image far outweigh the core idea which I find rather benign. I respect Timfythetoo because he dressed himself up as the tooth fairy and didn't pass this task on to anyone else (especially not his wife). I'm not suggesting that you dress yourself up as the maid (or am I?!), but I do feel disappointed not to see any twist of imagination here other than in the wings. And, I do like the wings this time!
