here my entry for Blake Jack's challenge Celebrating Chinese New Year

actually i have no time to work on new wallies or my other projects, but i love it!! so i made this one! ^o^

at first i changed the color values from the picture and used some filters to made it darker ... i wanted the effect that there is a sunset somewhere
after this i used some glow- brushes for the maple leaves, i really love the intense colours of the leaves in autumn ♥
than i added the kois in the pond and the fan ^^ in the end i used this wonderful texture and changed some lights

of course it's dedicated to the challenge creator! :D
