Here is a shot I took last week. Have fun!

Photoshop painting using Impressionist filter and some freehand work.

This is a abosolutely stunning photo Photomaster and i had to have a real quick play before work, but I WILL be back It will make a great painting even though it is brilliant as it is

Palms

Fantastic shot, PM! But you are a master at them! :-) Thanks for the play

Color adjustments, cloned, cropped, oil painted, texturized, sharpened.

Nice photo, and nice rendition, Photomaster.
Palms, wonderful "smoothing".
Swampy, i like your emboss.

Some freehand work in Photoshop CS3

Nice work Palms and Swampy. Alex, I especially like the tropical feel of your rendition.

And another try :grin:

Swampy- you're on a texture kick :) I like it!
PM-fab photo and wonderful work with Impressionist

Here's mine- mostly done in painter
And now I must go make dinner before my kids lynch me:eek:

Beautiful shot. I changed your composition just a bit. Take a look at my website sometime. I have a shot very similar. The only thing I would have changed and it's nature not you, is the bird on the right, if we could just see his face.

Nice light and the lens compression is beautiful. I am guessin 400 or 500mm.

Enjoy

P.S.

Thanks to you fine people I have been practicing this smudge technique and this was my first one. Please feel free to offer critiques and ideas.

Wow for the capture PM and double (or quadruple) wow for the renditions thus far. Been in a sketchy mood of late and used outlines and a grundge mixture for the final result. :)
