Peter

Oh no Peter i am back to seeing faces again, right in the middle ( looks good though )


Palms

nice photos :)
yep, I live by the sea so I see seagulls everyday :P lol I tried to photo them, but no luck. I'm always late . And I have some on my roof , uhhh they sure make a lot of noise.
hehe

Funny thing is we have seagulls here in the city but they dont seem quite the same,
Good tip for photographing them is to have a half bag of chips with you, It would be easier to have a partner throw the chips for you, not cowering in the car ! ! ! ! ! ! ! :grin:

Keep an eye out for the men in the white coats, they only have your best interests at heart - honest.
:nod:

Peter

:grin: Susie your not as lazy as me ! like the page 26 touch :wink:

Steve I would buy a print of that

If you were to read your newspaper Peter instead of hunting for frogs you would know that the white coats are banned now as they are unhygenic:eek: So NO worry's there :grin:

Actually Palms, I'm having a very lazy day today.:tired:

Steve, that's so neat! Reminds me of something out of Hitchcock's movie "The Birds".

Had a quick play myself with the ahb and blend modes


Palms

I combined both pics then added paint daubs, cutout, palette knife filters.

really neat image!
I started off playing with fake HDR techniques and went impressionist from there.
