This is the image I presented when it was my turn.

"Lovers"

Lovers

"Lovers2"

Lovers2

I'm very much into symbolism, so an image formed in my mind immediately when I found the clipart. I wanted to not only give a sense that these were lovers but to display them in some semblance of a heart shape. I used EyeCandy "fur" on the swans and then beveled; the scenery is a composite of 3 photographs from Art Today - the water is a real lake in Oakland, California which is about 50 miles from where I live. I used a lot of cloning, air brushing and blending. The bird is a peregrine from one of my old theme sets. Working on this image was pure joy for me.

For the image on the RIGHT, I applied Photo Impact's "Cool" effect.

How about a Cameo displayed on crushed velvet?

**"Hammered Drake"**

After completing this image in PSP,
I applied Photo Impact's "Remove Moiré"
and Sharpen effects.
