Wacky, Rusty!!! I like it.
Beautiful flower, Mary.
Courtney, I agree...they flit too much. Nice macro.

I used the new Topaz Adjust, at least the 'retro' setting and a few others.

Love your art, Rusty
Beautiful flower & processing Mary
Nice capture of a pour little guy, Courtney
Tennie - spectacular ! You have a wonderful eye for art & know how to capture it !

Thanks, Judy, Tennie, and Betty.

Courtney, I chuckled over your deceased butterfly. Am thinking that might have been an entry for "legs" on the other thread, but guess there were some antennae in there, too!

Tennie, your art is supurb - love the way you framed your flower, also.

Mary

A late fall hike in Seattle. Who said it has to rain?
I like the threads in this late bloom. Reminds me of a saying "a good thread runs through"

Tennie, Betty, Mary I love your art. Rusty yours is great, albeit making me dizzy.... Courtney, how nice. I'd call it "What we leave behind" or some silly hospice'y thing.

Thank you, Angela.

Your image sure is interesting. I love how the light filters through the strands.

btw - It sure is nice to see you back with the forum.


A wild flower found in early summer. I think it's common name is horse mint, but I'm not sure. Little bugs sure like it.

I've been experimenting with PS filters.
These are pistache tree berries with accented edges (darker setting) brush strokes filter. (The lighter version is the original.) I like the results with the accented edges effect. It can be carried 1 step further by using the accented edges layer in soft light.

It's easier to photograph butterflies when they're no longer moving.

Courtney
