I love nature. Nature is beautiful, peaceful, and soothing. The pleasure of natural green sight, blue skies, smell of the salty sea air, sounds of birds, deep forests, mountains, stars shining with the moonlight, everything just caught my eyes. Sometimes I wonder what else in these nature world, other than us, whatelse that we cannot see. What is the history, or secrets hidden in such beautiful places. There may be another realm sharing the same nature with us and live there. I linked the nature with any elements with the story behind it..

- make a rough sketch to throw your idea onto the paper. search for a reference image, but don't simply copy.
- sometimes I start to develop based on what I have in my mind, but it is advisable to write down/sketch to make sure your idea didn't fly away.
- try an error of various tools. Each effects can be made by many techniques. Different user with different style.
- always save a backup file in case you want to undo from earlier than what left in the history steps.
- accept the critism and improve your work constantly.
- it's not advised to use default settings, such as default gradient and blending default color. People will get tired looking at it.
- if you want to place your copyright text or watermark, make sure it didn't 'cover' your image as a whole. Sometimes copyright text distract your viewer from viewing your image.
- make a proper clean up so that viewer cannot 'detect' your #fail in the photo
- up to date with latest techniques by subscribe or follow graphics related website.
