| | | Creative Interpretations - Venice Boat Here's one I think you will enjoy. It needs some loving color and tonal correction, but it makes a lovely painting. |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Venice Boat Venice is among the cities on my "places to visit someday" list...
Anyway, still experimenting with this action...  I believe it has potential on the right image. |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Venice Boat I think your action loses something on this particular image because there are so many vertical lines in the original they get "lost" in the vertical boxes of the action. |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Venice Boat Lookee, no painting.
I've been playing around with HDR and filters again and sort of liked the half cartooned, rough look of this one.
Thank you Swampy. It was the perfect picture for playing.

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Venice Boat Well done, Sylvie. I couldn't quite get the detail in the laundry that I wanted, you did a great job.
Wonderful, Palms. The sepia toned background is perfect. |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Venice Boat Great picture Swampy!
I really like Dan's interpretation.
Here's mine, a kind of digital impressionistic.
Thanks,
Jeff |
