Finally finished this Friday but didn't have access to a decent scanner. Anyway, here is the colored version of 'Ah-Ha! I Knew It!" featuring cub Songjoy hugging a beloved tree. Such a little nature boy. I am actually quite happy with the results, but that background killed me. This is a prime example of why I don't often do backgrounds. I think Songjoy is upstaged by his beloved trees, which somehow, I think he would be quite happy with.

Oh my gosh! The colors in this are mind-blowing! That depth! That shading! Wow, it looks so realistic and warm! I want to enter that picture and hug the tree next to Songjoy. This makes me look forward to Spring and some fresh greens!
 Songjoy is just the sweetest! Whether color or black and white, he's just so unbelievably cute. He looks so happy hugging that tree.  No wonder this has taken so long... but very happy you finally got access to a scanner and got to share this with us. Thank you for this! You are making a very gray day much brighter.

The trees look like they are alive. Not that Songjoy isn't lovely but, I'm enamoured with the forest and the depth of colour and contrast you've managed to achieve.

Thank you, ladies! While this isn't as vibrant as the original, I'm still happy with it. Maybe because my scanner is okay with browns. And LOTS of browns went into this as well as greens. Yes, I think the trees are overshadowing Songjoy, but that's just fine with him. And if you notice, the tree is hugging him back (and the leaves next to Songjoy are forming a heart right back). He should've been a plantshaper, but maybe trees have empathy, too.

Ohhh! I saw the tree hugging back, I admit, I did not see the heart! This is so wonderful, Amberfox! Aw, this picture just is so sweet and it makes me long for green, for some trees to hug. So fantastic how much you put into this. The details are mind-blowing as usual... wow.
