I'm Going Home
Thanks for your help George Lenz
Layers and blends used in PhotoShop…
By using Photoshop, I used 4 different layers here to configure this piece. I took the clouds in one layer, added the egrets in another layer, George Lenz was so kind to help me with the moon layer and I also added a nice flood filter to give the reflections and blending them all in
I’m staring out into the night
And trying to hide the pain
I’m going to the place where love
and feeling good don’t ever cost a thing,
And the pain you feel’s a different kind of pain
I’m going home to the place where I belong
where your love has always been enough for me
I’m running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I’m going home
The miles are getting longer it seems
The closer I get to you…. babe
I’ve not always been the best woman and friend for you
But your love remains true and I don’t know why
You always seem to give me another try
I’m going home
To the place where I belong
Where your love has always been good enough for me
I’m running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
cause you just might get it all
you just might get it all and then some you dont want
be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
I’m going home to the place where I belong
Where your love has always been enough for me
And I’m running from.. you know I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me’
But these places and these faces are getting old
But these places and these faces are getting old
I’m going home

Hi Angi…I agree with everyone else’s comments. This is very well done. Keep up the good work! Oh, and one more thing: the only difference between a professional and amature is that the professional has been paid for a work. So as soon as you sell one, you’re a pro! ;-)
