Great analysis of the picture, too.

It works and looks very realistic. I use that method often.Gregory Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840770708114257366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-88840897690866861082011-04-08T15:03:37.489-04:002011-04-08T15:03:37.489-04:00Ah HAH!

There is usually a transition.<br /><br />Stape, have you seen this same thing? It' OK to have a different opinion, of course ;-)<br /><br />LoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
