Lysterfield 1: In search of ground orchids

It’s lovely, Whirli. I love the collage effect and the painting/photo mixture. It’s very striking.

gosh, this is nice whirligig! :-)

Hi Shanina and Anne – thanks for the quick responses! Thought I’d better move along a bit and put something up just to start the ball rolling again…...been a bit slack of late….

Must have crossed paths commenting, kathleen – thanks heaps for your encouragement!

I really like this Whirli, very effective and great colours.

You are a marvel of digital building of images. Good job.

Thanks so much for the feedback Kitsmumma and Sandra.

Hey Whirli…v nice image you’ve created

I love the textures and colours, I meant to go looking for the orchids but somehow forgot. The mushrooms are a great touch.

I appreciate your comments Sharon and Sabine. There weren’t many orchids, and those that I found weren’t quite open, but fortunately there were plenty of other small, interesting things to photograph and draw.

like the mix of colors and the mushies, is there a silhouette of a fairy in the background ?

Thanks hugo – no intentional fairies in the image, but then everyone sees things differently…...

I love the colours in this Whirli and the layering effect – great work!

Thanks for your input, Helene – much appreciated.

Delicate, earthy, beautiful….

This is beautiful, I love orchids, they add a certain freshness.

beautiful work Whirli ! Luv it..

Hi Alison, Charlotte and Phil. Thank you for your encouragement.

great texture and colour in this WG

I appreciate your input here, dave.

Well, you may not have found very many orchids, but you still managed a beautiful picture. Well done!

Thank you very much Hippo – glad to see you back bubbling….

Wow!! This is beautiful!!

Thanks heaps, georgiegirl!

Beautiful composition!

i wish i was the one who made this. ;) it’s very inspiring, maybe i will use the same “strategy” some time, though i am not so good at photomanipulation at all.

This looks fabulous…well done!
