heres a poor attempt still getting used to new photoshop havnt used it since 2000 to think i used to get paid to do virtuals and photoshop aagghh its been a while

[Jamie]

ok, i know i have put a few entries in but man! this tree holds so many styling options!!! this one is of another upright instead of a cascading tree.
i have created a more canopy look (which is a hell of a lot better than my first upright entry!) i have tried to add depth to the tree and create a feeling of lightness that you see in freshly styled junipers and pines, like a final styling before a show, thats what i was aim for any ways!

[Leigh Taafe]

[Jamie]

huzzah! a fierce fight it was too
and i too look forward to seeing what the tree is of the moment

and a very interesting one at that, i very much enjoyed it mate i think we both performed very well to produce so many viable options for a tree with so much potential!

Hi all !!


This months winner is............Jamie's 3rd entry.

Congrats Jamie - please visit the prize cupboard and send me a PM

Great entries from Dayne and Boomy also this month. Only a few more to go before the big GF !!

I need to get a pic of this tree (I will try on the weekend) and post it up here along with the winner of the "closest virt" to my actual design.

I also need to get some pics of our next victim! I will do the same and style it up so you can see what I have come up with!

Once again - way to go Jamie !


Cheers,
Leigh.
