Theme: Selective Focus

I know I’m taking the easy route on this one but I have another I was working on at home, and will finish this week I hope.

From the blueberry patch (harvest is good this week)

I like this, something about the colors I think! S-

This week's theme: Something About Me I made this mess of a thing from a picture of the country house, a couple of old pictures of me as a kid, a picture of me a couple of weeks ago, all smashed up over a picture of one of the artworks that's been there for nearly a century, one of my aunt's painti...

The image is beautiful. I'm partial to the bluish one which seems more suited to a mockingbird's persona. But the technical and artistic work is great on them both. I prefer the first as well, but find it interesting to see the other variations that are possible as well. It's amazing what a slight ...

For the first time - I feel like I am moving forward again with confidence. She ...

thanks Steve, Paula, Frank - Week 23 - Egret, saw this one this morning and happened to be able to be close enough when it took off. Tried to be more gentle in processing including running a mixer brush over the whole thing to get rid of some noise and detail.egretS.jpg I'd swear these are painting...

week 22 - red headed woodpecker - might have too much detail in the tree. One thing I tried was the black and white filter and then set the results to luminosity and played with the sliders. The process seemed to result in getting a little more detail out of the breast feathers.redheadS.jpg I'm jea...

Theme - In My Kitchen Since I have two kitchens, one here and one at the country house, I did several. Here's the first. The main part of it is generated by a PS action called Squicker that I would like if it worked. Like most of my PS actions, it quits after one or two steps and starts telling me ...
