It's "Make Art Monday!" So let's get busy and make some GREAT art!

Change a blend mode, play with a filter ..... anything goes as "ART"

But most of all,have fun.
This Monday's submission is of an old farm house in southern Utah. Nik HDR Pro 2 used.

Used a Topaz Simplify painting technique on this one. It's based on reflections in a creek.

Oh, very nice Chas and Mary!

My photo was taken last month from our upstairs window when the fall colors were still beginning to turn. These trees are bare now, and we have 4 inches of snow on the ground.

Oh, I really like that, Courtney. Can you share what technique(s) you used?

Mary,

Thank you. I have to admit, this is a one-click filter. I used Topaz Simplify, one of the Buz Sim filters... maybe Simplify III, but I'm not sure. I always do a levels adjustment first in Elements, then I resized it down a bit, then used Topaz, then resized down to the 500 pixel max limit. I'm glad you like it.

Chas, Mary & Courtney - super nice art.
Mary yours reminds me of Monet paintings. Courtney, the colors & all are so cheerful & bright. Once someone asked what was a favorite tool in PS. Levels is right at the top of the list. I have some favorite levels presets that I would like to share when I can get into my broken computer.
