Melanie, I don't know if you will come back to see this, but just wanted to let you know how much I love this piece. I also love the direction you're going with your entries. You seem to take it a bit further each time and it is a wonderful process to watch. --Nancy/JoseNoway

Thank you all. And Photon Catcher, I'm sorry I didn't respond to your question sooner, but here goes: the bear is a small polymer clay figurine (a Christmas gift) and is quite colorful. I put it in front of a small mirror on my coffee table. I duplicated the background layer and applied a distortion filter (wave-- I think); then masked out the filter from the bear's face and partially masked it from the mirror and the rest of the bear. I also applied a blk/wht gradient layer, then masked that from the bear and other portions of the photo. mlynn
