About the Image(s)
When walking in North Wales I saw several wooden sculptures and chose one that took my fancy - original one. The image was unremarkable when viewed on my monitor so I cropped and then copied and pasted so there were two wooden lions side by side which I then worked on in Photoshop see original 2.
That was 3 years ago. Recently looking through images taken in a Wildlife park I saw Original 3 the shot of the lioness and that lead me to combining this with the wooden lions.

Ian, I actually remember this image. What you did orienting your final image so that it looks like the two heads are at angles to each other is different. Not bad. I wonder how it would look with the third lion in the middle on a separate layer which was partially opaque so you cld see through it. Just a thought. Otherwise goofd work.
In the meantime I was looking at other creative groups and there were very few of them. I wonder if they are having trouble getting and keeping members also. Maybe creative is out of favor these days. Posted: 10/04/2025 21:23:32

Thanks for you comments Joan. The lion was on a sparate layer and dliberately placed off centre to break up the composition. Strange how we all seethings differently.

Love it. The colours are beautiful and merging the "real" lioness has worked very well!! Posted: 10/05/2025 17:12:26
Ian,
Because of ny bad eyesight, I didn't notice that the left hand side had been picked up as the head of a lioness. That makes all of the difference. I thought you had taken the same head and just distorted it somewhat and places it a an angle next to the other head. Sorry about that.

This is very good. I like the simplicity of it. The offset real lion face is a lovely touch that lifts the whole picture and I like the change of colour to 'lion' colours. Posted: 10/21/2025 07:41:41
