Still Trying To Learn

Just curious as to any comments. I'm still trying to master PSE4.

I really like it... what did you do?

Love the avator also. :D

That is pretty cool. A little color would be cool too. Either way, as Kimi said what did you do?

I took the original photo of my hibiscus (before editing) and set the background to black and the foreground to white; went to Filter>Render>Clouds. Then I went to Filter>Stylize>Extrude (Pyramids; Size of 10 Pixels; Depth of 10 Pixels). Did the last step again but this time I used the Block setting; Size 10 Pixels; Depth 60 Random. I think it would have been better if I had made the depth a little higher but I was happy with it. Also, I agree it may have looked a bit more interesting if I had made it red with a contrasting background color. I'll try that.
