ah! currier and ives. ok, that last one has some elements of it, particularly around that house/cabin/lodge in the background.

Well I'm just Gobsmacked (Yorkshire dialect coming out here) by everyone's work. I really appreciate all the time you're all taking.

Janet, how can you possibly think you ruined the church, I love the new feel, it has a somewhat Gothic atmosphere now somehow. Reminds me of a film I've seen (the atmosphere not the scene), wish I could remember the name of it.

Swampy, the texture really works with this pic, as Craig says, it makes it look like there's a fresh fall of snow happening.

Steve, my favourite so far (all respects to everyone else, but this just hits the buttons for me), love the changes in lighting and atmosphere that you've achieved.

I suppose I'll have to have a play myself, but I'm a bit tied up at the moment, and besides my efforts usually fall well short of what I'd like them to be, so I kinda find all sorts of reasons not to display.

Yeah, distant objects seem to work out best.

I really appreciate that Gary. Let me say though that the images are so good that I was ahead of the game going in. Very good work!

(Sorry about the gobsmacking

Steve, your's had a very "Kincade" look. Did you paint with light?

Wow! Wish I could sell mine the way he does.

Thanks...and in answer to your question, I used Light Artist on this one after starting with a layer of Lucis Art.

These are really nice photos. May have to try another.

I'm enjoying everyone's efforts so much I thought I'd be cheeky and throw another one into the pot. Hope I'm not being too pushy, tell me if I am.

Palms, welcome to the thread, yet another great contribution to it. Thanks, with weather like we got, how could I not enjoy, only problem was having to come away too soon.

Kraellin · #25 02-01-2007, 02:32 PM

palms, i like that one

nah, gary; the more the merrier!

It looked all together too calm.

Messed with Paint Engine (only just found it), didn't like the effect, so changed the blend mode to screen, duped then embossed the dupe. This came out.

Yeah, Gary... you're too pushy... LOLOLOLOL. You're one of the nicest folks I know around here! XXXX

Gary Richardson · #28 02-02-2007, 03:33 AM

Nice one Peter, it's snowing again.

My wife would dispute that, but then after 26 years of marriage she knows me too well for my own good.

I did this on in Painter, thought it needed more...so used the cut out filter and smudged here and there and framed with the very same action in Photoshop!!!

Patricia, wonderful picture. The cutout/Painter combination works nicely.
