Description I dont care if it hurts I want to have control..

This is for 's contest.

I played a bit with the conceptual side of nature depending on the meanings of flowers. The yellow lily represents walking on air or being peacefully false or non existent. This relates a lot to the state of euphoria and dreaming which has become my escape.

The orchid represents beauty, love, and refinement- or in other words, longing. The moth is deception and despair that prevent dreams from becoming reality. A painful reminder that not all things can be done by dreaming, but by acting.


This would be the second manipulation I've ever done, so excuse the rough patches.

Damn you're good, girl! And that's your second photomanipulation? o.o *falls over* My God I wish my photomanips were that good. It's gorgeous; full of emotion.

Also, what do you use for your photomanipulations?

Thank you. It's about my 5th, but the 2nd serious manipulation that Ive actually finished.

Comparably, its simple but I'm working on it.
I use Photoshop 7 and random stock images.

Woah, this is hawt. If you look at my 2nd manip, it was nowhere near as good as this one. The only thing I could point out is the blending of the roots. Otherwise, well done!

Yes, by the time I got to the roots, I was just buzzing with impatience and frustration. Thank you very much!
