    Default cloud challenge

    Here's a photo I took this evening at sunset, of the eastern sky as viewed from my garden.
    the challenge would be to draw a cloud in the vector application of your choice,
    photorealism isn't essential.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    See previous posting for text. I stupidly pressed the submit button without attaching the photo!

    A XARA fluffy white cloud.
    A few white shapes with fractal transparency and feathering on a four colour blue sky background.
    And again with a toy plane for added realism.

    Derek,
    The toy plane really knocks me out.
    The great thing about this is that together with your cloud,
    you have created a great composition.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Thanks for reposting this, Derek.
    I do remember seeing the 'plane in a previous posting,
    which is why it made me laugh now.
    It's a salutory lesson on saving everything one
    has done...you never know when you might want
    to use it again.
    The flower, (orchid? lily?) I'm hopeless with flora, is lovely.
    Also, I love your thumb(s)nail motif,
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Hi Remi,
    Very nice clouds - I'm sure I've seen that cow before?
    Ah, yes, the banner challenge. I was paying attention,
    but your posting was a bit before I joined the conference.
    Prosit a Remi,
    Bob.

    Yes, it is the cow photo from the banner challenge. The problem was, that after inserting the photo, the clouds stops abrupt on the sides of the photo and my intention was, to let the result show like a photo/vector combination.

    I've used Xara Xtreme's fractal fills, to create the clouds in the following vector drawing (no photo involved in this case).

    It's likely I couldn't reproduce this if I wanted to.
    Lots of feathering, fractal fills, cloning and
    fractal transparencies.
