Santa Fe revisited

[gholmes1936]

Just got back from another get away in Santa Fe, NM. Love that area even if it's getting harder for this old duffer to breathe up there.

For these I used PS CS5 and Filter Forge 2.0. Then a mask and some restoration of lines, etc. plus a texture I got somewhere along the line.

Of course I still haven't learned when to put the original image in the uploader so it is the middle one. D'oh!

Thanks for the play Gunner; a little on the abstract side with this result.

Nice and warm looking! Not what it was like up there, snowed when we got there, but a balmy snow, if that's possible! lol

A couple more done with Mac AutoPainter Express.

Like the result of the MAC DAP Gunner; maybe soon, Oscar will add full arsenal to it. Also and excellent watercolor result Palms. Felt I should do a more capture accurate render this time.

REALLY like this scene. thanks for the play.

The Filter Forge effects are most impressive. Well done.

I used ImpressionFX, Akvis sketch & (the old) Paint Engine on this one.

Haven't had much time to myself lately but when I saw this beautiful photo a lightbulb clicked in my head. Finally a scene so perfect to go with the wood frame in Fotosketcher!(with a slight hue adjustment).

Not too much changed in the photo...blended a bluer sky, small things like that.

All good renditions. I never think about putting frames on my work here, but I like this one for sure.

Wonderful photo, Gunner!

Lovely renditions - Vera, I think the frame shows how great a wall hung photo this would be with a good frame.

Used Topaz Simplify and Adjust with a touch of Fractalius and some masking
