Eat your Oranges, Sophia

I cut and chopped this and that and put it together. I made the balloon and put a radial gradient on it and then put a radial blur on top of that. Then I flattened and duplicated the whole thing making the duplicated layer "multiply" on which I used a large soft eraser brush to the center making it brighter while leaving the outer edge darker. I decided to call it finished.

Maybe you should have told her to eat or be eaten! I love Lulu in gigantic shades! And yes, navel oranges are somewhat disgusting in appearance and you made them more so.

This image is great! Those are monster oranges if ever I saw them and could be characters in "Where The Wild Things Are".

I love the balloon! It looks very real. The oranges are a bit scary, especially the one in the lower left, but Sophia seems undaunted. There's a delightful whimsy about the whole image. --Melody
