~Kite Flight Fright~

Graphics Challenge #57. Are we heros? Are we giants? Are we just big children? We'll
leave that up to you, as we explore this week's challenge theme, (People Seen)
Through the Eyes of a Child. An interesting idea suggested by Mishasan.

When my husband was a little boy he was afraid of kites. He thought if he
held a kite, it would pull him up into the sky.

I used Photoshop Elements 4 and Painter IX.5 to make this image. I took an image
of a boy holding a kite, removed the background and changed boy's smile to a
frown. Replaced his kite with a kite I modified by adding eyes, nose & a mouth
from a Halloween clip art site. Put clouds in the background. Used Effects: Focus -
Glass Distortion, Surface Control - Apply Surface Texture, Tonal Control - Equalize
- Posterize. Enlarged the canvas and filled it with an orange gradient.
