Well that's what i thought (title) but have had it on my hd for a bit and when i have a few minutes to spare i have tried a few different things out and had some interesting outcomes, so i thought maybe someone else could come up with some ideas for it :)

No painting here, just a few histogram tweaks, replacement of sky, cloning out of sign, and burning the board. I wish I had had a few sand pails and shovels or a boat to put in and add another element of interest.

Nothing wrong with this image Palms. You just left out the flowers.

Janet, your photo could have been taken anywhere about 20 miles south of me. :-)

To me the sky looked ominous, especially the hail clouds way off in the distance, so I used it for effect

Every time I've driven across Kansas, I've been in this kind of weather. I hope your kite flyers have enough sense to get in out of the storm. :)

Not a boring picture at all! Great job gang adding birds, people, sunsets, clouds, etc. Very creative work here.

I found this to be an ideal image to use as a basis of a Photoshop action I'm tinkering that simplifies creation of the individual panels. The arty background was rendered with the Impressionist plugin.

gosh you have been creative over the weekend,

Swampy beautiful coloured sky i could well get into that colour.

Granny that is a omnious sky, I have not caught lightning over the sea yet it is supposed to be awesome,

Danny that looks like a very interesting action, I like the way the eye travels over the different panels

Never caught it with the tide it, I wondered what it would look like :)
