Hang on !!!!--that's a good title for a song hmmm!!!
Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom
Hmmmmm…Am I seeing ‘crouching tiger hidden dragon’ in this one?? Definitely full-on romance, ‘old devil moon’ style in that one!! Hopefully they weren’t making a “pact with the devil” in that one either, though. *-)
That is a mighty fine dragon you’ve got there, billy!! Would make any blue-blooded Chinese proud!! And seriously, seriously SUPERB processing here!! Wow!!! You’ve got so much of it in you, man!! :)

@Rebecca: hey Rebecca--cheers for the comparisons--I copied the dragon from an old fountain in a large stately house not far from me--I've posted the fountain before--it's a beauty--billy

@Bron: cheers Bron--enigmatic hey??--I'm delighted--thanx--billy
@badala: cheers badala--appreciated--billy
@Shutterbug: hey Shutterbug--the original shot was a landscape of the coast in my home town--the dragon is from a fountain--I used Picasa to make a hard selective focus on the buildings--then pasted the dragon and over saturised the final shot--cheers--billy

Anne from White Rock, Canada
I was humming the song soon as I saw the title Billy. I am not big on abstracts, but as always it is a wonderful processing job! I don't know where you come up with all of them? I'm wondering if I should sing "Blue Moon" as well?!!!! ;-)

@Anne: hey Anne--well spotted on the tune front--I can't help changing images--when I see a shot--I have to manipulate it--it must be frustrated artist in me*-))
sometimes I'll leave a shot alone if I think it's good enough--then I have to think twice about it--thanx for the encouragement--billy
