Bruce, The origital was nice, the crop is better. The puffy white 'Magritte' clouds are a great contrast to the wood details. Regards, Bob S.

Nice. Looks like a rock formation. I'd clone out the stuff at lower left and right to enhance the illusion and clean it up a bit.

Nice, sure does mimic a western rock formation. A little more of the brush on the RH side would help balance the image.

Crop it square, even out the illumination and shadow on the foreground, and you have Rene Magritte beat. ;-) G On Jan 31, 2007, at 10:38 PM, Bruce Dayton wrote: This is a broken off tree stump.

Re: PESO - A bit odd
The first of these is great - agree about the Magritte reference - it's the light on the stump and the clouds that invoke that - see for example http://www.allposters.com/-sp/La-Chateau-des-Pyrenees-Posters_i389181_.htm Alastair On 2/2/07, Bruce Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks to all who posted comments on this.
