I had to ask an on-line bud what kind of flower this is. As I have mentioned elsewhere, I don’t know flowers, (although, on a good day, I can usually tell the difference between a daisy and a rose) but I love shooting them. I also love playing with the pics that I would otherwise trash. Here's one of them:  |

Here's another that really didn't do anything for me until I played around with the image.  |

Bob, I really like what you've done with the second pic. What filter/effect are you using there?
I think the flower in the first pic is an iris, isn't it?

Wheel, it's a combination of effects; mostly colored chalk and chrome, but a few others thrown in too. I don't know the exact combination. I just play until I'm happy with it. Yes, the first one is an iris. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

Write down the combination next time. I like the effects you've achieved.

Georgina, each one is unique. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. That's why I said I just play with it until I'm happy. Or at least satisfied. These effects don't even work on a lot of my pics.

 He might look like he's asleep, but he has one eye open, watching me. |

 Sorry for posting the large image here, but the smaller one really doesn't do this pic justice. This is one of my faves. What started out as a shot I was going to trash turned into this with a little playing around. |

 This is Emi. One of our two “tuxedo” cats, Emi usually runs from me, but she let me get in close for this shot. Then a little playing around. |

So these are all just normal photographs that you simply tweaked with photoshop? If so, fantastic work -- I had no idea you could do such things with just regular photos.

Haven't graduated to PhotoShop yet. Too expensive. All except the one called Strike Three were just ho-hum pics that I decided to play around with. Strike Three was one I was going to toss. It was blurred from a slow shutter speed and camera movement, but after a little playtime, I had a pic I really liked. I sent a copy to the General Manager of our local Single A ball team, the San Jose Giants and never heard a word from him. |
