A Painted what?

Wonderful bird. Would have liked to seen the processing isolate it a little more from the background.

Stared at this a long time and I want to really, really like it, but I find everything on the car gorgeous and everything outside of it soooooo distracting. Perhaps had you vignetted it a little or done a vertical crop? Really striking, but not quite there for me.

I love what's on the other side of the pillars in the scene here but not this composition.

Lovely image and well done. Thank you for including the tutorial ... I think. LOL I can see how people could want to spend hours playing with that.

How about resolving to use all 1200px? A really nice shot that should have been sized differently. Cost you 2 points with me, at least.

You need to take advantage of 1200px.

Stuff like this has to be dead on square with the front. I always try, and I'm about 50/50 even when I'm paying attention.

Thanks Penny, but you and I will have to agree to disagree on the double exposure. My comments where made when I could distinctly cull out the full details of the "texture" image with that image also lending both new features and distinct features, and adding new image areas - both illegal for a texture according to the rules. There were many others where I could tell what the image was, but they were used to add texture and not image features. AS with many of those I may have been heavy handed in my application of the wood grain, but only because the flag exception allowed me to be.

sugarbear this is at the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. The entire back entrance is painted like this. Here's a Google street view image. I love that they actually pixelated the faces of one crayon and one marker. Not all, just one each.
