| | | Re: possible boring photo No painting here, just a few histogram tweaks, replacement of sky, cloning out of sign, and burning the board. I wish I had had a few sand pails and shovels or a boat to put in and add another element of interest.

| | | Re: possible boring photo To me the sky looked ominous, especially the hail clouds way off in the distance, so I used it for effect |

| | | Re: possible boring photo Not a boring picture at all! Great job gang adding birds, people, sunsets, clouds, etc. Very creative work here.
I found this to be an ideal image to use as a basis of a Photoshop action I'm tinkering that simplifies creation of the individual panels. The arty background was rendered with the Impressionist plugin. |

| | | Re: possible boring photo gosh you have been creative over the weekend,
Swampy beautiful coloured sky i could well get into that colour.
Granny that is a omnious sky, I have not caught lightning over the sea yet it is supposed to be awesome,
Danny that looks like a very interesting action, I like the way the eye travels over the different panels
