Took the soldier photo and tried to make it look old and weather worn. Did a color and B&W.

Skip-

WOW! I love them!

[skipatk]

Thanks Nancy

Liked the aged photos Skip. Thought I would try to channel my inner Neiman for this one (not actually Leroy like, but influened by him). Thanks for the play Nancy.

Lyle - I knew we could count on your for something original. You're creative tangents are always tons of fun.

Here is a watercolor go on the Blue Bird?

[Nasturtium]

Skip - sweet edit. My neighbor says the type of bird is called a 'great tit'

[Joeven]

That's one tough looking dude.

Really couldn't come up with anything for the bird; decided to do a wood carving because I could. lol

[Nasturtium]

Joe - lol, he really was such a sweetheart - you've toughened him up, well done
Lyle - i like it when you're wacky
Grant - darkening the background really makes him pop out, nice depth
Lyle - seems like as good a reason as any

Another thumbs up for Skip's "distressed" treatment. Well done.

Fun challenge food for thought: "Clean up/repair" the distressed version w/o reverting to the original!

Mine: Sepia interpretation

"Glad you could" on the wood carving effect, LK. Very creative.

Mine: Experimenting with Akvis sketch for the edges, ImpressionFX for the texture.

Danny, you're restoration is so cool! I love whole idea of it
The birdie edit came out very 'painterly' - well done!

Thanks for the cute bird! Here it is with Fractalius.

Funny painting, thanks Nasturtium

[lkroll]

Well; completely forget about my sewing machine, so I took the virtual cover off my machine and commenced to stitching this one.

[Nasturtium]

Pat - that is one fun texture!
Alex - dark! Nicely done
Lyle - now you have me in 'stitches' :-)

[CJ Swartz]

Very nice images, Nancy.

Lots of variations in Topaz fllters plus some touches

[Nasturtium]

CJ-that's so cool! Your edit really draws the eye to baby bird's beak - well done!

[CJ Swartz]

Thanks, Nancy!

Such a nice image of the mama feeding the baby - nice renditions by all.
