Wow...thanks guys. :blushing: I was starting to think
allll my photos were crap!!! LOL!! You guys have given me a feeling that I still have some hope!
Meg...I'm afraid that I can't
tell what I did to this photo....because then, I'd have to
kill you!! LOL!! :greenpbl: (Of course, it could just be that I don't quite remember
what I did! PP is still so new to me, that I've really been experimenting, and can't always remeber what I did!)
Chiller...I know, I know

.....and yet, I wasn't sure I'd get the same result with the lines if I included the bottom of the stone?
Rach: Agreed. After playing with it for so long...I couldn't seem to lose the blown-out bit. Once I couldn't seem to fix the problem, I decided it wasn't so bad that I couldn't live with it!
Thanks again guys...I really do appreciate all the comments and feedback!!! :hug::
