Cool Ron. I guess I have to say, Great Lights!! :D

Glad you are enjoying them.

If I may make a sugestion, change the colours in your fog to complimnet the lighting. Dropping a backdrop or sphere (sky/atmosphere) in the scene would also help focus the viewers attention.

Then once the overall mood is set you can focus on detail or softening them either by painting or texture or light.

Cool idea, should get 50s_Kid interested after he's done his Christmas cards.

Cookie Mon....the water is a simple plugin for paintshop by Flamingpear.com. I had recently redownloaded it from the site and have used it when my images seemed a bit unfinished to me. You simply install the plugin and they give you directions for that on the site. The plugin is called Flood....You open your image and go to your effects pallette and select Flood. And then a pallette will appear showing your image and the water at a default level, you simply move the slider until the water level is at the point that you desire. You can change alot of the attributes of how the water reacts to your image....ie waviness, persepective, noise etc....very fun plugin ...One other thing you can do is use 2 instances of the same image...Open a new canvas and lets say you want water in the middle of the image, use the flood on one of your images and copy and paste it onto the new canvas then on another layer copy and paste the untouched version of the image ontop....then take an eraser brush and erase from that layer where you want the water from the first image to show thru at.....very fun to play with and works splendidly with Z2 images for sure imho. Have fun and post your results....
thnx for comments yall.
