Original picture of an Impala Lily on the patio.
- Touched up using Micrsoft Office Photo Manager for resize, Photo Editor for oval crop, Gimp for texture, FrameFun for the border , and Paint to clean the outside area.

I adored the original picture at the outset, so initially I was shocked by the edit. Then I looked at it again, and again, and realised it looks like one of Jock’s embroideries, Bravo.

Thank you – glad you took the time to study it. I was aiming for an embroidered/coarse poster effect, so I’m happy you recognised it as such.
