Amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
Pretty damn fricken' cool!! The more I look at it the more I'm mesmerized. Having the lines of the background run perpendicular to the clouds on the watch... genius. But jeez, it looks like you do have mosquitoes over there after all!!

@Amy: hey cutes--I'm pleased with my fricken-I did a bit of work on this baby
however,you've made a booboo on the mossie reference--the bird in flight is actually the Barry albatross--this one is on a low-carb weightwatchers diet--hence his size--so there nanananana--billy

@Ken McCoy: hey Ken--I used Roxio photosuite to make a cut out of the sky shot and copied it to the clipboard--and then simply pasted back onto the watchface and resized the cut out to fit--I should have made the cut out more transparent however to show the watchface--but next time hey--billy

{H} creatives from Santa Clara, United States
Yup, agreed with Ines...very creative, indeed, and aptly titled. B-) You have a knack for this...one of my fave is the "reflective spec's" along with this one.
p.s. thanks for the "heads-up" on when the anklebiters hits teen years. Might be contacting you for advise...

@{H} creatives: hey {H}--I'm pleased you appreciate these shots--but my creative juices are running a bit dry at the moment--hence I'm only posting now and then--it'll all come back though;-)
as a dad and grandad my favourite advice I hand out to young dads before the kids hit the teens is....ruuuuuuuuun when you get the chance........;-)))--billy
Jen from Jessup, United States
How do you do it Billy! Just when I think you can't come up with something more creative you do!!!
I love it!

@Jen: hey ho Jen--you know--sometimes I'm proud to be billy--when I get great responses from an artiste such as yourself it gives me the "feelgood" factor--I'm toying with some new ideas at the moment but it can sometimes be a long process- that's one reason I'm only posting every coupla' days--my sense of humour is waning also at the moment--but it won't be far away I'm sure--your humble servant--billy
@Evi: thanx Evi--appreciated
