Author notes
Uffdah, this was a toughie! Had the one moon, middle with a reflection but couldnt match the reflection on the other moon and eye so had to clear that one off and do all the reflections myself. Added a heart in the eye from another eye and the tears from yet another one, and a lightening bolt in it to signify the crack of a broken heart (they eye alone took parts of 3different eyes plus the bolt to make). Then thought I'd better add a splash and yet another reflection and thought I was done...added my text to the moon and wallah! Redo the center moon with text AND it's reflection with text to make it right...lol. Like I said, very tough but used a lot of tools I hadnt done before to achieve the effects shown. Enjoy...

Beautiful. And you deserve a trophy just for the background. Thanks for entering and good luck!

Thank you for entering my haiku contest.
Moonlight reflections
oceans of tears filling voids
left with your farewell
This is a very well written poem, but the use of metaphors is discouraged when writing haiku. -
Creative
Honestly, I think if you were somehow able to shrink the image down then place the poem on top of it, the difficult part of having to scroll down far enough where the right side of everything else is out of the way poses a bit of 'detachment' for me. Nevertheless very good poem -

This is simply a matter of what screen resolution you have for your monitor which is going to vary from person to person depending on their resolutions. Mine is 1024x768 and I make all my BGs 1280x760 which in most cases will cover most everyone. For me, on my screen, the moon with the poem reads and is placed just right of center. And I do things a bit different..I wanted the poem IN the moon with reflections of sort to match the poem itself of oceans of tears,
Thanks again,
Evan

The poem is in the moon, a Haiku, that when incorporated into artwork is called a Haiga,

Congratulations on achieving all of this, and winning the bronze. I assume you got quite cozy with your clone button, or did you copy and paste? or both? Good solution for the reflections with the blinds texture. Well done!
-

Your right on the reflections. The blinds worked out bets. Tried teh ripple but just couldnt getit to look right , will take some practice. The moons were of different perspectives so had to rotate to give them teh same shadow effect plus use the vertical perspective to tilt it backwards and give the impression that it was getting closer to you. The eye was complicated. Had a heart in an eye I didnt like so just cropped it out, used color mix to get to black, used a mask to get rid of outside background and add transparency, cut, rezized and pasted as new layer. The bolt, was on a bkue background so kinda had to do the same as well as teh splash. The tear was fro another eye...lol...but again didnt like the eye but loved the tear, so just cut, resize, as paste as new layer again. So...was complicated but fun and leared a lot of tricks and shortcuts, and it turned out pretty nice. Thank you fro stopping and the nice comment and interest,
Evan

Lol..bad thing is when you wanna change a word or two in the poem as I wish to now, it won't be so easy...lol..
-
Thank you for your kind words. Yes it took some time and turned out nice and now have a few more tools and tricks learned at my disposal. And if we can try something new and different each time we do one of these contests we grow and get better still. Thanks so much again,
