This pic would be cooler, if that drain pipe was a large hollowed out log.

When you look at a piece and you dont think its been edited - you know it must be pretty darn good
I do like it Jane. Very much.

Thanks very much. 
I'm just waiting on permission from one of the stock artists to create a print. Unfortunately they don't seem to have been online for a while and haven't yet responded. I'll give them a few weeks and if I don't hear anything I might have to replace the image. I'll let you know when there's a print available.

You know when you watch over 500 people, and with the little bit of memory I have left 
I love what you've done with this background, adding the steps for instance, and that little girl and dog are perfect. It's something I would have done as a child!

Thanks very much. I'm heavily inspired by your work so that means a lot to me.
Yes I was thinking about having it more as a "hide and seek" theme but I didn't want it to have any sinister overtones. The picnic with the dog (and the onlooking bush animals) gave me the opportunity to keep a real innocence and to slip just that little bit into fantasy!

I like going back and forth between the original photo and the finished, I like finding all the little details you've added.
