About the Image(s)

There was an intermittent cold rain from the end of March to the middle of May in
northern New Jersey. When the sun came out and the weather got warmer, I was
inspired to celebrate spring with this June entry.
The rabbits were photographed in Home Goods, a we’ve-got-everything-for-the-home store. I took one picture from the front and one from the side so I could insert a different angle if I needed. I took the pictures of the rabbit to add to my stock images figuring I’ll use them some day.
The fence comes from the entrance to a restaurant in Captiva, Florida. The inside of the restaurant is just as lively. The rabbits and the fence are cut-and-pasted.
I used the Pen Tool to create the hole. First draw the shape of the box on a blank layer above where the hole is going. Use the Pen Tool to draw a triangle on one end first and use the gradient tool to create a light to dark gradient. Then draw the other triangle and repeat. Once the triangles have their gradients, repeat the process for the rectangular part of the hole. I finish by drawing a light line around the top of the hole. Google using the Pen Tool if you want to find a Pen Tool tutorial. It will help.
