Sami this wonderful ... almost feel like it's and underwater landscape. What I first thought to be the heads of two horses in the image turned out to be actually the sides of a rugged mountain. (of course that what I see imagine. :)

Obrigado, Isabel =)

I hope this encourages people to try editing ;-) For me it is part of the fun.

Xata ^club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club

I like what you do... maybe one day I will take fun on editing, but for the moment it is more a time consuming job, I do quite some editing for advertising, for the town, for people who ask me to change this or erase that from a picture...
