Re: Hastings, England

I've been to Hastings only once. Remember it being a lot brighter and more colourful - your in laws must have picked the one day a year that it rains

Re: Hastings, England

Wow, Lyle, I really like that. I don't think it's too abstract at all. Can't wait to see what else you're going to do with that program.

Enlarged it then shrunk it then flipped it and then basically screwed it up.

Re: Hastings, England

Wow, people. And I'm expected to compete with all these? <sigh> While all renditions are really nice, I find Joe's & Fran's to really stand out.

Re: Hastings, England

Found this one more of a challenge than usual. Had trouble figuring out how I wanted to play this one. So of course, I've several versions.

First I tried out a grunge AOP
Larger version (2400x1600 - 1.99 MB) here:
http://ghealy.smugmug.com/photos/1103892068_7FVLr-O.jpg

But it didn't seem right. So I did one using a Bierstadt AOP in DAP and some post processing.
Larger version (2400x1600 - 1.1 MB) here:

More colourful, but still not quite right.

Finally I thought maybe as a pencil smudge.
Again, larger version (2400x1600 - 1.3 MB) here:

This one has a better 'fit' to the original, dark, gloomy and grey. <Smile>

Thanks for looking.
