aadam_21, Thanks

Search first, lens second. These are everywhere, insects outnumbering humans by far. If you're willing to spend time lifting leaves on tree branches, walk off the path through the weeds, peek under picnic tables, you'll discover another group of subjects well worth your patience. Good times, good times.

wulf.....i made a triangular selection from the horse's back....free transfomed it to the shape i liked....chipped out the edges....and then applied separate layers of shadows.....i was originally going for that spiral that your flower has, but, failing at that....i ended up with what i did....
