Gorgeous! I agree with the choice of Number One, but "the gold one" is a close second. The stitching is a great detail! And I love how extra shiny you made Buffy's hair look with the blend. Finally, Tara just looks so beautiful and noble, she really "makes" the picture. (And you did a good job at hiding her awful hairdo!)
Thank you! I tried adding it to the "gold one" - it looks great in the icon but not the poster, because of the elegant cursive font, it's too much detail.
It's funny how I love to play with effects and go "too far" when making a poster, but then I usually need to pull myself back a bit and ending preferring something simpler.
I guess I'm not unlike the guys in college when I went who loved to play with the effects on the new video editing suite - sometimes (often) to the detriment of story they were making. Shiny new toy! And I'm still very much learning what I can do in ipiccy. So making mistakes and going overboard sometimes is part of that.
I love how extra shiny you made Buffy's hair look with the blend.I'm super-pleased how that came out! I had to remake the image so the earlier version is the practice shot and I couldn't reproduce that exactly but this is better. I know I had the top image (teacher's pet) set on Lighten and played with the opacity, I may have set the wrecked image on

Thank you sweetie; I do too. (Hope I manage to cope, that is. *blinks* Ok I did not mean for that to rhyme but - gotta be a song lyric in there somewhere, maybe? A bumper sticker?)
I originally wrote a longer version of this (that disappeared before I could post, probably of the good. The images tell far more than I can explain about the process. Worth a thousand words and all that jazz.)
