Very nice image Linda, it would make a lovely notecard. --Melanie

I'm also a fan of photoshop effects like this (lots of cool ones in the retouching forum). Its interesting how the fire looks more 'real' but the cat looks more like an oil painting. -John(

A real fire -- what a novel idea! (I haven't had a working fireplace in years...) I like the composition and the effect -- nice, warm image. Helen

Beautiful composition! I really like the painting effect, and also the way the cat's paw is raised as he looks at the fire.

Hi Mike, thanks. I used PSP8, effect called Brush strokes. It has custom settings, which I don't like very many of them. This was minimal sizes of brush and stroke. I almost used the photo without the effect. Not sure which one I liked best. ;~)

Linda, I like how the onlooker leans forward, gazing into the fire...almost spirit-like in form. Nice glow from the fire that diffuses across the room. What kind of interesting filter did you use here? MFC
