How many, many things They call to mind These cherry-blossoms! *** Temple bells die out. The fragrant blossoms remain. A perfect evening! - Matsuo Basho, 17th century Japanese poet - PRODUCTION NOTES: Rendered from a text prompt in NightCafe. Basic editing and upscaling was done with ClipDrop AI before being seriously postworked in Photoshop CS2 and Paintshop Pro. I made much use of effects, filters, layer styles and even a bit of manual painting too. Though not as much of that as I'd have preferred since my hands are now feeling the effects of time and arthritis. The results are still far from perfect but whatever flaws remain are more likely to be my fault than the machine's. Nevertheless, I like it and I suppose that's what matters most. Although I really do wish it had a better title. ::sigh:: Been a whole month now and I still haven't come up with one. Suggestions?
