I liked the fish, so did a little microsoft impressionist on them.

Enjoy.

jch....Nice touch with the impressionist plugin!

Dan....Love how you have brought all the detail out on the tree trunk! I thought the old tree well worth a photo, it had such interesting shapes and textures on the trunk!

Steve...Sorry to correct you but its not a zoo...thats in Stockholm and i have yet to do a photo shoot there...but i will...
Like the foggy effect on the old building...suits it well.
The statue you have also done well...from what i remember he is trying to light a fire!

Pavel....Like your parrott...he was a lot of fun...very cheeky!

Kiska....Fab...well chosen brush strokes,they give such a nice detail to the fish and i love how you have done the reflection and water!

Oops....just looked at all those creatures and got carried away.

A park. (Parken.) Must pay closer attention next time.

Nice images anyway.

Steve, Great Zoo and Statue!

Here are two with vastly different approaches.

The Zoo, I mostly in Painter with a reed pen and some diffused water color then brought back to PS and adjusted.

The lady with the pot in the garden was all done in PS. I masked out all the pipes and stuff and added a bamboo background. Did a HSL and Curves and painted the masks for a darker jungle look.

A big fan of Koi Patricia. Thought that I would place them in a cramped fish globe. lol

[patriciakay]

Swampy....Two very nice interpretations...I like the the first one very much...did you do hand sketching?

Lyle...There were many Koi Carp at the park in two seperate places...they are so colorful...So you put them in a globe??? Fun look!

Bet you all thought i would do a flower...here it is!

The yellow hibiscus I did in Photoshop CS2...
Duplicated the image
Separated the flower from the background
Painted the background with the AHB brush and ran Flaming Pears,Flexify on it.
Smudged the flower with Pams water color smudge brush
merged the layers
Lucis art exposure twice and framed with an action...

Thank you, PK! Yes :-) I used a reed pen in Painter. A first for me.

[patriciakay]

Swampy...Havent tried the reed pen as yet...keep finding unusual brushes on the web and getting sidetracked....You did really well with it!

Here is one i have just been playing with the AHB brush in Photoshop CS2 and then did the aniso filter on it...
