Let it Snow

Experiment in separating the shadow from the tree, maintaining the light source per John, and, trying to do some Northern Lights.

Very Nice snow flakes Sally. Looks like some good northern lights going on there in the background too.

eheh Sally, my wife would agree with your statement on this picture, but I on the other hand am hoping just for rain *ducks out of the way of the snowball*.. I agree with a4hire, very nice snowflakes/diversity .

I didn't make the brush, that is now to be found in the Xara Brush Gallery, Min's Snowflake Brush.

Glad you like it. Actually snow is better than another hurricane, but not to people who cannot buy heating fuel, those left homeless by Katrina.

The snow on the edges of the tree is all one piece from top to bottom. It is one shape with holes cut in it, then beveled and blurred and feathered. I found out there is an attributes pop-up next to the feathering slider that controls the slider in a similar way to adjusting contour or blends. Very cool. Hope you tinker with this. I never noticed it before.

Fun to look at, just don't like shoveling it.

What do you think kids are for? Who ever said slave labor is illegal, doesn't have teenagers...

Mowing the grass, racking the leaves, tilling the garden, shoveling the snow, etc, etc, etc. This is why we have kids.

In my house it is lead by example. BTW, the husband doesn't think that is what kids are for, that is what the wife is for.
