| | | JC going mad is quite the vogue. Great job. Dragons (or is this a Phoenix?)are not cool but way hot.
Now I'm adding a tragic note. This is an action I picked up somewhere (don't remember where-I've had it forever). Couldn't resist using it though. This picture was perfect for it.

| | | Hi,
I was hesitant to play with such a nice combination of images, but here goes.
I simply sellected and copied the balloon onto a seperate Layer.
On the background I then applied a Posterize and a Gradient Map Adjustment Layer.
Regards

| | | Janet, I sure hope you find that action! I like it!
As long as we're going wild...I'll show you my passion, and hope you good folks don't laugh too hard. I love taking photos and messing with them until they look like some form of "modern art." Even sold a few.
The first one is one I did from this hot air balloon pic. Looks nothing like it, but it gave me the fodder to create this piece. Did many different things to it. I like it...you may not, but it floats my boat.
The second one came from a photo of starfish and other sea life on a beach. To me it says "Dancing at midnight."
