Latest in my Ps learning efforts. I didn't set-out to create this, I was drawn into it as it developed. Little fella is a cherub sitting on the side of a classical garden urn in reality.

I like your interpretation. I think the creativity that just happens is sometimes much better than that we overthink. He may just live on the side of a garden urn in real life, but in your world he carries a heavier load and has found new purpose.

I like it very much! I wonder, though, if the barbed wire could be juuuussst a little more pronounced, a tad sharper (or something). Full disclosure: I'm pretty dense, not awfully perceptive, but I almost missed it except for the title, which made me look twice, but bear in mind that I am. pretty. unobservant. :oops: :roll:

Glad you like it Chuck - I could darken the wire, which would probably do the trick, but focus was not down to me, I simply photographed an out-of-focus shadow projected against a wall at the Tank Museum - thought it might come in handy! (

Shows incredible imagination and good skill so what more could one want. Use of the cherub with this background is quite stunning Dave and shows my man you are deffinitely thinking outside of the box.
Love it
