week #6 of this contest... I don't think i'm gonna make it to next round :/ 
Our theme was the  7 wonders of the world... and i got the handing gardens of babylon. 
Granted, it's easier to do than others. But i hate...Hate manipulating plants... Hate it... Flowers are soo tiny!
they are barely worth the effort.

But, i did it... this is my entry.

This is not supposed to look exactly like the hanging gardens. This is supposed to look like the lowest level by the river or sea or whatever body of water is right by it like in the tons of pictures i found.
I did also, read about it on wikipedia.
It's said some king ( I forgot who and to look it up is just work xD) made his queen this spectacular garden so she wouldn't feel as homesick.

So, this is Queen Poneh for the sake of argument. This is her favorite spot in all the garnden... She likes to just lay on her cushy bench and watch the flowers and the body of water flow on by. The king doesn't mind because it keeps her out of his hair ( assuming he has hair)

Queen Poneh really looks like she likes the garden i made her... you better...
This thing surpasses my entry Belle :fav.me/d7rzwux in layers.
I estimate about 400-450 with everything in here. I did delete layers i wasn't using in hopes photoshop would find some favor with me.

I agree, this is not my best work what so ever. The lighting needs so much more work amongst everything else.
Ugh. 
I really wanted to add the boat i'd seen in the pictures, but by the time i got to the point where i could add it, photoshop wasn't really fond of me zooming in and out O.o

Well, here you are, my interpretation of babylon...


Time: a few days
Layers: I estimate around 400-450
