The Gooseberry Madonna

Using photos from the Gooseberry Falls area of Lake
Superior, I combined a rather sylvan setting with some
Poser 5 figures. (I was practicing combining figures, which,
if Poser isn't terrifying enough, is almost humbling!)
I've never gotten rid of the mannequin-look to the figures,
so I use an outline layer to make it look more as a
study than a finished piece. My bad!!! Then, it's just
dodge, burn and erase...
