Wow! That's some "encouragement" :-)! But a nice result and much more interesting picture, IMO. And thank you for the detailed instructions for the frame. I'll give it a try and see if even I can manage it. Helen

Thanks folks :-) Helen, that frame is a snap: pick a foreground colour with the eyedropper, make a new layer and Select All in it, and stroke the selection on the inside with the foreground (about 15 pixels in this case I think it was). Then change the opacity of that layer till it looks right. This was 45 or 50 percent. Flatten and Save As jpeg. And yes, you've seen it before though it took me a while to remember which Challenge ;-) FWIW here's how it started out, before the colours got a hefty shove. - Mike

This looks vaguely familiar to me -- I remember the dramatic colors. I also like your frame -- very effective. Helen

Fascinating, Mike. Thank you for sharing this. No need for other comments, we'll just take in the scene and marvel at it's beauty :-) Markjay
