Steve...Wow ...its a lovely painting of my poppy and with a perfectly matched frame too...I can tell you i am definately a flower person...flower Power and all that...

Dan....The plastic wrap worked well and i like the change in colors...the poppy is one of my favorite flowers...

Palms....Lovely.....the poppy looks fab...well my garden should be full of poppies...BUT...if i dont get out early with my camera they are gone by ten o clock...think the bees around here are little junkies as they wizz around the stamens in the middle of the poppy to get the pollen and are so crazy they knock the petals off...not only that....the elusive deer is back and also eating them...

patricia,

i also posted one FF rendition of your poppy over in the filter forge 'gallery'. i do hope this was ok. if not, just pm me and i'll remove it. the link is: http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=483

others may enjoy seeing that gallery as well. some cool things being done with that filter maker.

Craig...Like your filter forge work more and more....Like the second one best...
Thanks for the link i found it really interesting...

I dont mind you using my flower or any other photos as long as its credited to me and my copyright...which you did....Thanks...

I am very happy with my photos of late and you maybe surprised to know its a Photoshop camera, a Canon power shot 300 3.2 mega pixels...only thing i dont like about it is the zoom...it never takes sharp enough shots for me..had this two years now and on my list of would like to haves is a Canon EOS350D 8 MEGA PIXELS i Also have a tiny Sony Cybershot, fits in the palm of your hand, it takes great landscapes and flower shots but i am not happy with the people ones...over in my gallery i have a coulple of landscapes i took with the Sony..
Heres a link to my Near to home album....maybe there is something there you would like to use for your filter work...taken with the Canon camera...

patricia,

thank you

those two were quite the accident and very unexpected for the filter i was working on but once i saw the general effect i had to take some shots.

and thank you for letting me use your image on the FF forums!

i had a look at your gallery. i saved out a couple to try with my newest filter. if they work, i'll post one up

i'm surprised that's only 3.2 megapixels. they are quite good quality. but, canon has been making good cameras for a while. my old canon F1 (film, circa 1972-3) is still with me and i still use it on occasion. but i've been drooling over a canon rebel and a nikon D50. nothing like an slr for getting the shot you really want and with digital this is even more the case.

Attached is a very low quality (12%) crop; here's a slightly higher quality full version (still 42%, but kept it within ImageShack's limits).

Created using Xero's Supersmooth followed by DCSpecial's ICE4 filter.

lkroll,

you shld really be playing with filter forge. with your love of filters, it would be ideal. you could get that effect and a million more similar to it.

Craig...Glad you found some pics that might be of use to you....we have a Sigma A300 film camera and it takes great shots....but as i take many photos at a time it would be too expensive to use on a daily basis...Yes the Canon i want is called Rebel in the States but not in Europe...Wow 1972 eh...I also hang on to things and have a Minolta from almost 20 years ago and still use that too on occasions...

Lyle...Like your pic...nicely cropped and a great effect...I agree with Craig you would like Filter Forge and bet you could also make great filters...i am just trying them out on my pics and Craig is doing some really good ones..

Patricia....
