    Well done. This is an effective image, and has a theme to it . Great job. I also like the appearance of a textured surface throughout. Keep it up. how many layers were involved?

    Re: Experimental - First attempt at layers

    Thanks for your kind comments.

    There are 5 layers in all ... the base layer (which is the face of the grandfather clock in my study), two more versions of the same clockface, and two angel photos (actually the same picture which I took in a local graveyard). Then I played with the colour to get something pleasing, added the "Tempus Fugit" lettering, and textured it. Finally I adjusted the image size to make a perfect square.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Re: Experimental - First attempt at layers

    Thanks for your kind words. I've worked on it a little more. It bothered me that the main clock hands were obscured, so I've done another version, also with a little less garishness in the colours. I set the clock at "Five Minutes to Midnight" - it struck me as somewhat symbolic.

    I think it is a little better.

    Cheers
