It's ironic, being a native Floridian, but I hate the ocean. I had the "Jaws" phobia when I was a toddler (long before the book or movie). I do like to walk on the beach much as these ladies are doing. Note that not one of them has on a bathing suit? LOL

I "funked" this up using Photoshop Facet filter about 15 or 20 times.

Are you sure we weren't at the same beach?

Nice "gritty" sandy feel, Michael.

Palms, that's nice, but have you ever considered adding some texture to your paint brushes? I'd love to see you step out of the box and funk it up. LOL

Couldn't beat you to this one Palms.

This one - Paint engine, Redfields++, Texture added, some messing with the colours and some sharpening.

Peter... the sun really adds a lot, but no reflections on the water? No shadows cast? Just being picky on a nice rendering.. :-)

Good points - I'll consider my wrist well and truly slapped.

I'll do better next time - Honest

Hi all,

Paint Shop Pro,
A little Buzz, then PP Styled Poster Art.

Reminds me a little of the holiday posters on the railways.

Cool capture Dee Dee. Sort of wanted to go with an Impressionist/Pointillistic like feel (which this scene reminds me of). Used GIMP's Cubism filter on a separate layer and set it to Dissolve with a lower Opacity and then did a lot of other things to get the result.

Swampy i am hurt and crushed ( not really) there was a bit of texture there and i did use a brush with some texture but i think i lost all of it when tweaking etc. but i do have a huge problem with texture i just dont get on with it, wether it be adding it or using a brush with some texture, but i will try and address it some, but dont hold your breath for too long
