She Rides The Four Winds
A Collaboration With dinghysailor1:
Maggie took a batch of excellent photos in her local area [ the Scottish Highlands ] based on a shot list I sent her.
Maggie’s Original Photograph
Featured in That One Great Shot on Saturday 7/11/2009.
Thanks to Alan and Jane for the feature !
Then I processed the image in Photoshop Elements 7 by applying a few filters to her photo and adding a couple of my own custom textures photographed in Newcastle. I used a great staged portrait from mizzd on Deviant Art. To view her excellent Photographic Portfolio please visit mizzd-stock

Well, Sir James, if I had seen you below with your talented self I would have spoken and ask if you would like a ride of your life….on my broom …I would have “swept” you off your sturdy feet and raised some dust while doing so! I would have shown you the power of “sparks from my fingertips”....zapping this and zapping that …. you would have been all but exhausted when the ride was over …. a night of black mystery … a night of unknown pleasures that the soul cannot imagine….. LOL …. all in fun Sir James! Nice work my friend nice work!
