love the fantasy!

Astoundingly pretty! Good luck author

Very nice image, but the excessive noise added to the balloons hurts the fantasy and jarringly makes them separate from the rest of the landscape. If you added an an Anistropic Diffusion filter to just the balloons, it would help bring them back to being part of their surroundings.

Sorry, but I only have a lowly Adobe 6 program. Besides, I want the balloons to be the center of interest and prefer them as is. Thanks for your comment anyway.

oh i like this image.. could be comming right out of a storybook!

I like your picture!
It gives me a happy feeling, because of the warm colours

Very creative! Love the colors and how you made the first balloon with the 'face'. Tree spot textures are so whimsical, reminds me of hole-punched colored paper and a school project. As Eladine said, could be a book illustration.

Thanks so much friends for your comments and votes. So much appreciated.

Congrats once again Lois!! You keep this up and we'll have to call the contests Artgirl's Photoshop Contests! A most extraordinary week for you dear lady!

Well you've done it again Lois Congrats

Looks good, good idea for the use of this source. I really like the Butterfly in its "blue " state like the version in your SBS, It might look good with one of the blue ones in the finished work. Nice job overall.

Thank you! It was tougher than I thought it would be.

So creative! LOL @the bite marks on the leaf, and the caterpillar's mouth. I, too, like the blue butterfly in its 3D looking state.

Congrats!!

Try using the pen tool or lasso tool to avoid jagged edges on a selection.

Fixed up to some extent, thanks.

Congrats!!
