| | | We would all do you a favor by leaving this well shot photo alone.
Having said that, it's also too good to passup as a photo art base.
So here I go messing with it.

Thanks for the kind words and nice pic.

| | | Patricia, what a beautiful image and thanks for letting us play with it, although I agree that it doesn't need any alteration, but I also couldn't resist.
I just used a couple of different paint filters, lighting, and adjustment layers; nothing special. I'm not sure if I am getting enough of a photo art look, but I am working on it. |

| | Thankyou also for artifying my roses Johnnie...yes you are getting there...it takes time...i was happy just using filters for almost two years....but now i want to paint and smudge...practice thats all it takes and sometimes you can be lucky and quickly you can have an amazing picture! There are lots of great filters out there on the net ...free...hope you are enjoying Retouchpro...

| | | Patricia, Thanks for the kind words and words of encouragement. I have tried painting/smudging, but I am not good enough to post yet, but I will.
I am enjoying RetouchPro very much and thanks for asking. |
