Customer needed a colorized version of the well known picture of Chief Osceola. I'm not very good at this sort of thing, but I was happy with this result. The colors had to remain on the "rustic" side to tie in with the finished product (printed brochure).

[Swampy]

The before picture was very blah, and the customer's brochure called for more color, but they wanted a "serene scene"

Nice one Swampy!

I'm already washing the salt spray off my car from this one. 8-)

I did this for a friend of mine recently, we've been doing a lot of photography together of late for me to play with.

I have the original here too - I started with it while learning about hair extension, and then it just took off from there

[Swampy]

Nice Aalyah!

Steve, I really like your drummer man. Excellent work! What did you use to do it?

[Kraellin]

dee dee,

i like your osceola except for that part coming off his shoulders, the pink. it looks like a bad posterization. maybe a gradient blend or smoothing of some sort? but the rest, especially the face and hair are excellent!

Nothing new here for a while, but some really nice images already posted. I am posting three that I did very recently because I was so pleased with how they turned out. To see the original photo I used for each, click the link beneath the Pbase image when it opens. If the photo was one of mine or from sxc, you are welcome to play with it too.
