A scenic shot

I thought I'd add to the variety here by posting a picture taken from the bluffs above a little town called Calico Rock in northcentral Arkansas.

We haven't had a landscape for a while. So enjoy.

Great picture Janet. Looks like a neat place.....


Here is my "kinda wierd" version. Dillied with hue/saturation, dallied with levels, and then I applied Xero's Carvaggio filter and messed around with some brush strokes.

Thanks for the comments all; Palms, ...

...GREYCstoration is a method for removing lpi dithering (like the dots in newspapers and such) to create a smoother image if you will. As applied to the rendering, it creates the almost smudge feel to the piece which is cool. Along with some Aniso (learned the term from Phyllis recentlly and which I was doing inadvertantly for a long time now) can make for some cool renderings. GREYCstoration wasn't invented for GIMP; its been around for some time. There is even a stand alone program that can do this (downloaded it, but have not used it yet since it's built in the GIMP). Check this link out for some addition info.

I don't believe it, Lkroll! The guy that made that plugin is from my hometown in France!
Does that plugin work at all with Windows XP? I sure don't want to waste my energy on learning a new language!
