Born of the River

I wanted to test the waters of photo-manipulation; no pun intended, seriously. I needed to get my mind off of stuff and this project defiantly helped me feel better.

Rather simple, I know; I'm a beginner at Photo-manipulation with a program and not completely familiar with yet (Photoshop Elements 7.0).

Please tell me what you think and how I can do better next time. I'd like some tips for how to improve.

Done over a period of four to five hours (I lost track of time).
