Aha! good point Phyllis, but this is a rare species of
Squirrilus digitalus and can appear both night and
day and in fact anywhere

I was playing around with Phyllis' trademark abstract filter, trying to see what I could get.

After a lot of margaritas, I came up with this.

I don't know how I did this, but I sort of like how textural it feels. To me, this almost feels like it was embossed on a paper grocery bag, then painted with watercolors. But that could just be the worm talkin'.

Very nice watercolor-on-paper-bag! It almost looks like you watercolored on some thick handmade fiber paper. Whichever brand of "worm" got you there...let me know....I'll take some of that

I don't know how I missed this great image! Thanks, themanda, for bringing this one outta mothballs

Jean, you did a great job! LB looks like he's been there all fall...

Made layer of orig picture. Filled in bare trees with PS7 leaf tool used the colors from trees in the background. Took my boxer LB who was laying on the couch cut him out and put him on the park bench ( he is never good at sit stay!). Work color and brightness on LB to match background. Cropped so you could see LB better (he is sooo handsome!).

Thank you! I am a little (well a lot) post stupid and had to call my sister so I could upload the picture larger. I deleted and reposted. You are correct LB is so lazy he would sleep right though till spring!
TheManda...Margaritas, like what it does. Here I have been drinking just beer.....guess I will have to break out the blender for the next challange!

pstewart · #69 02-16-2003, 04:37 PM

Good job, Jean...looks like he was always in the picture.

toooooo cute! Yes that is Mr. LB ! --- lol
I think he likes the couch better than the park bench --- well done sissy.

Moonfizz....Beautiful. The light on the river and around the bench are perfect! If I did not know better I would think the picture was real.

Separated the bench from the bg with a layer's mask. Desaturated. Levels. Bit of ... just forgot. Well, version one.

retpmikl · #74 03-10-2003, 07:20 PM

Version two, with a lotta green.

The photo has a certain calming effect to it and evoked a feeling of peace. The image was created using my secret sauce, lighting effects and a home made ray of light.

Hope you enjoy the effect.
