thank you. i used an abstract of an image i took that included bright colors and used photoshop cs3 and the liquify tool in order to mix the colors. as i did so, i noticed many images of animals, etc. beginning to take form. very few alteratations were made in order to enhance the animals in the image. i love image manipulation since one may use his own imagination to create artwork to his liking. you are obviously interested in art and have a keen eye to appreciate this one! shu
