March Theme:

This months theme is: Under the Sea!

A horse or dog beneath the waves—majestic, untamed, and transformed by the ocean’s magic. Is it a seahorse-like steed, a ghostly silhouette galloping through sunken ruins, or a kelpie luring travelers into the depths? Perhaps it glides effortlessly alongside dolphins or races through bioluminescent waters under the moonlight. Whether mythical or mysterious, let your vision take the plunge—I can’t wait to see what you create! 

Voting:

The winner will as usuall be decided by vote. Things to consider when voting:
° Creativity: How unique and imaginative is your concept? Does it stand out?
° Technical Skill: How well-executed is the manipulation? Are the elements seamlessly blended?
° Theme Adherence: Does the piece effectively capture the essence of this month's theme, while maintaining the animal as the focal point?

After the Challenge is over:

But Freia, what happens to the manips, do you keep them?
NO! The photo manipulation is yours to keep, sell or throw away as you wish. I do NOT keep the rights of any manipulations you create - this is simply for fun!
