This had an old-timey feel to it, so I went with that and converted to quadtones.

Spring is really arrived!

If YOU weren't always LATE

that toning works great Kim! Ghiga, I couldn't find the cat ;-), wow Paula, your imagination flies away!

How could I manipulate such a beautiful Cherry Blosom... soooo here is Hiroya in winter sending us the spring...( Hi Hiroya!!!)

I thought let's make of this half tree a full tree (such a beautifull tree), so playing in paintshop, mirror it and copy it and paste, whatever, and doing this, there was this special effect, I don't know if you see what I see, but I see a heart in it, this must be a magic tree......

 

Els

Someone, beautiful your heart-tree!

 

Andrea, sorry, how I could forget my little "children"? Here it is the correct version!!!

 

Kim, selection of color & tone are exquisite!

 

Ghiga 2, good to see your "children" in a playground with full blossoms and fairies.

 

Paula, lunch on branch? Fantastic! Also colors of their cloths were excellently processed.

 

pnina, am so proud of being a part of your manipulation! I got an idea from this one. Wait and see ;))

 

else, I see what you see, and now I know where magic actually exists.

 

Andrea, this gorgeous gate door quite fits in this place as if this isn't a manipulation. Looks very natural but must be so hard to make this layer mask!!!

 

Thank you Ladies. Glad you enjoy party on the grass. I'll soon join you.

Kim, very nice indeed; beautiful job!

Ghiga, yes! Spring is sprung!

Paula, this must be a very exclusive park to be so hard to get a good table!

Pnina, very amusing; he does look like he's still a bit wintry!

Els, I see Vishnu (the four-armed blue-skinned Hindu deity) - very magical!

Ghiga, must you always?

Andrea, slick job, beautiful gate; it will open to us, I'm sure.

Someone has changed our dry Spring to a wet one, and these have sprouted! Sure glad it provides shelter from the rain, so the picnic can continue!

Late for the party, but I seem to having recurring dreams of funny colours...

Great! glad you guys still can imagine awesome manips. im struggling here, I seem to have lost my imagineation. :0/

read about it!

Don, beautiful colors, and I love the whirlpool.

Pitman, I don't believe it ... have you checked under your seat cushions?

i even checked under the whole house! :9(

Neon Nights......

Sorry, Someone, I used your idea, becose i liked it very much: with a little further manipulation.

 

This is the great Spirit of the Trees, living in the deep of the forest, in a glade where the men are not allowed to go.

It seems spring has stirred imagination quite a bit. I love when imaginative creativity surprises me; it surely does here in all and each creations you posted.

Don M, another magical manipulation with a magic mushroom!(toadstool?)

 

Don G, I can't imagine how you have done it... FANTASTIC!

 

Linda, it's much better than lightening flowers. ELECTRIC BLOSSOMS!

 

Ghiga 2, yours reminds me of a word PROLIFERATION. A proliferation of an idea called LOVE? That's wonderful.

Linda, electrifying, fabulous colors. Though I worry about those picnickers.

Ghiga, beautifully Baroque. Proliferation of love is right.

Hiroya, thank you. I'll save a bowl of the soup for you.

Hey Partners , don't belive him! Good man Hiroya, just boastfull....lol,

 

Don, good soul, leave him a bowl , just to let him know how good your soup is....

At first I would make an election poster but had no idea of any good pledge.

Perhaps you're too hungry to think well. Here's some soup now; I hope you like it spicy!
