Tony - that's definitely not a lame attempt!! that's actually one of the most realistic looking mosaic manipulations I've seen, great work.

Tony, those are great! I have never had the courage to try the mosaic...was it hard to do?

David,
Thanks for the kind words.

Phyllis,
As I am a beginner in Painter, the hardest part is keeping the tile size and grout lines between rows of tiles consistent. Each row of tile represents a brush stroke. So literally, you have to lay every row with a stroke.

Tony - that is really spectacular! Very realistic. I'm going to have to open up my Painter box just to try that technique! (Yes, I have Painter 7 sitting unopened on a shelf. I just haven't had time to delve into it - I can only learn so much at one time!

)

Angue...That mosaic of the bird was impressive. Looked just like the Painter's can image.

Did mine with a layer of texture paper that I had made.....

I going to tell how, but right now I thought I’d post it. I have notes.

Goldcoin, that looks like hammered aluminum with metallic paint...nice!

Steve, lovely. Did you make the water spots with a layer maskl and brush set to scatter, size, and opacity variations...or something else?

Ahh... another picture for me to practice my infrared skills. Although I've pasted my attempt here, I don't quite like this version. Something is not right... but I just can't put my finger on it. Could anyone comment on it, please? Thanks.

Maybe it is the lack of definition in the water?

This is my version of our friend, the egret. It is quite dark, and I hope it looks good online.

For anyone interested, duplicate the combined picture. On this layer, Invert it, setting the mode to color Burn. It looks terrible at this point, but trust me and run Filter/Gaussen Blur (#20 worked for me).

Take a look at this same layer, in the mode of Color Dodge. It produces quite a different picture. I enjoyed this one! Bob

This is the daylight version of my effort at the egret.

Bob;

I love the night time version of the egret...

Bob, that's mean! Poor egret.

I just hope the alligator isn't hungry and just wants to play. The night version is dark, but that's okay, because the darkness, contrast, and saturated colors are right for the mood...really intense...shudder.
