Inspired Copy-Cat

This week's Dogwood Challenge is the theme of Inspiration and I'm sure many of you will guess where my inspiration for this came from.

Don't you people who edit make it look so easy. I've half watched Graham Norton, Killing Eve and The Handmaid's Tale whilst putting this through Topaz Studio and PhotoscapeX .

All I have done after a lot of playing and learning is a bit of miniaturisation and I spent ages to get a light-flare on the kinight.

Good edit

[Kathy]

It seems that perhaps you're not entirely pleased with your results despite spending a lot of time working on this. It is nice, but I think I understand what you're looking for.

[Jacqueline]

You made this more mysterious and I like the b&w! But personally I miss the detail you had in the king.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Babs]

[JackieR]

@onewing but not quite
@koalagardens yes, she makes it seamless
@jacqbb I will have another go another time
@randystreat wish I did!!!
@joansmor v kind, as you know editing and processing is not easy to me for some reason

[Walks @ 7]

I like the soft and eerie feel. I'm struggling with this week's dog.

[JackieR]

@joysabin they're getting harder!!

[☠northy]

I love the darkness of this... and your chess pieces are exquisite!

[JackieR]

@northy thank you, still need to practice. The chess was £8 from a charity shop!!
