Background is from current blue pot source photo with many changes in layers and patterns, stems and leaves are hand-drawn, poppy from a vacation photo. No outside sources. I will do my best to give accurate SBS. The background was quite involved. Am working on layering techniques.

I have created the poppies from the source image and used 2 external sources to create the painting.

I have reconstructed the butterfly and the ladybug based on two images taken from "stock.xchng" using the selection of the main poppy in the source image.
Recreated a close up from the poppie field backround.
Used a lot of adjustment layers for colors, lightning, gradients and brightness/contrast (I wanted to get a strong color and light effect so that's why I was bit more daring with them...)
Also added some light beams using a free brush taken from the great site "obsidiandawn" at http://www.obsidiandawn.com/.

With so many entries...I hope you will still find this pleasant!

SBS coming soon!
