Update 06.04.2007
Fixed one major flaw that kept upsetting me since I got new screen :)

Ha! Teh manip of doom! :XD:
I've been working on it for three weeks... You know, finals, yadda yadda, I couldn't spent on it as much time as I wanted. Nevertheless, it's my biggest project ever, and I'm kinda proud of it. It beats all my other manips in number of stock photos used, layers (~120) and time.
I hope you like it :P Tywin nearly died on this one *pats him*
I've always wanted to have dark, moody garden, untouched by shears.
Full view highly recommended. Closeups: [link] .

~ 32 hours.
Thanks for ~pinkside and ~virydi for beta-testing!

Gdyby tylko nie te badyle... I ta muszla, ech. Raz jeszcze gratuluję, bo wszystko się ładnie trzyma razem, latarnie świecą lepiej ^^ I rzeźba anioła ładnie podświetlona. Uch, ale te badyle -_- Nastroj nietkniętego przez ogrodnika zarośniętego ogrodu jak najbardziej udało Ci się uzyskać ^^

wow! :omfg:
you killed mw with the credits' list -_-"
32 hours, wow, I'd never make a manip for so long. I'm patient but not SO much! and 120 layers, that definatelly killed me. I can forget about making manips XD.

And the colors! Finally some more contrast! Now I'm thinking of changing featured Blood Red to this one.
It looks kinda turkish 'cause of these arcs, just my first impression.
Maybe it's not perfect but it's awesome. It's unbelievable how huge progress you've done!

I can only say CONGRATS

your most stunning piece to date - it was well worth the effort you put into it - you should try get prints permission from all the stockers, I'm sure you'd sell one print or other :love:

Love is patient...and kind; Love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs...It always protects, always hopes, always perseveres.

Muszla jest TRÓ. :P A badyle - znalazłam wyjaśnienie XD Mianowicie drzewa są odpowiedniej wielkości - uschły, kiedy ogród został opuszczony. To od tego czasu to zielsko tak monstrualnie porosło. Drzewa są w porządku. =P

i like it. because of colours, flora, light and altogether because of your idea. but (yee, u know i'm vicious, there's always certain but) why exactly you've put there that shell and statue of angel? they look ok., but they breakin' down your composition. I thought that this manip presents rundown garden, isn't that?

Absolutely amazing - the colors and lighting are wonderful! I agree with ^kuschelirmel, you should try to get the permissions to make this a print - I definately would give mine (just let me know!)

*pats* Don't give up your manipulating! I'm just a little different kind of photomanipulator, that's all. I use to have full vision of completed piece, and find stock and cut off parts I want to use. That's why it takes so much time, layers, and stock photos. Usually a photomanipulator finds decent stock and brings other two or three photos together, to make a manip with focus point, instead of full painting-like manip. Then, it lasts about 2-4 hours, methinks.
32 hours... You know, I wasn't satisfied with stock photos. Had to paint missing parts, remove trash bins and people. Also, the building consists of 12 parts and grass of 10 parts. It's a huge project; I doubt I would ever repeat it.

Yay, I also felt I was progressing, but I'm so cheerful to have it confirmed :D :glomp:

(Don't give up! :hug:)
