It was a project for my niece ... of course it can be done other ways. I can think of several options right off the bat, but there was neither the time nor the need to use other techniques. All I had time for was a few quick snaps with the digi camera and then a fiddle in PS. I don't care that it looks like it is a result of PS ... that is precisely the look that my niece wanted so she could take the results and do what she needed to do for her project.
