    Nice image, Digi. Did you tone it at all? ear.gif
    No hue/color shift changes, just a boost in saturation at the end.

    I didn't get the DOF effect as much as I had wanted on my little Canon G2, so I used the Photoshop CS Lens Blur for the first time. Among other things, it seemed to lighten certain areas, particularily the green foliage more than I liked. So I boosted the saturation.

    Wa it too much?

    Okay, couldn't decide what to do with this, so I'm hoping for feedback. I'll eliminate two to make room for more later. lol. :D



    Hi Savannah... I like number two... I like number one as well but I'm liking the blur on two (I"m obsessed with blur at the moment).

    Hi Davidto,

    I like the empty path (#1) .. I love to take shots of empty lanes and have been told there was nothing in the shot to look at but I totally disagree.. I love empty paths..
    Nice shot.

    I agree with you, Lynn.
    The empty path is only empty to those without the gift of imagination.
    Those with the gift are able to envision all that might have been on the path before, and all that is yet to come... the possibilities of that path are endless.

    Thanx. I'm still quite the beginner with PS, trying to learn by ear,(eye) so to speak. That's a gaussian blurred black and white layer at 60% opacity on top of the original. I liked it as well, but thought I might be the only one. I think I may need to take a full-on, no holds barred, bleed my hobby money dry photoshop course one day... Trying to figure it all out seems a bit like deciphering luxury home blueprints in aramaic. (speaking from experience there...lmao) I hope in a future incarnation to be a descendant of Andy's.

    re the blurred picture of the ghostly old walk
    I like the second one, too. The blurred one with the white overlay, or whatever you call it.

    I have liked goldish colors on my pictures, I think I will try for some of that white stuff, too.

    I liked it when I first saw it earlier today, before my computer completely crashed.

    It has a kind of ghostly quality, without looking cutesy, that is what I think.
    I thought for a minute or so that the place was actually fogged or the light was funny or whatever. Maybe really haunted, smile.

    I thank you, I am going to try playing with white when the gold doesn't work,

    I get to it. Hey, that is not a bad cat, I get it, it is a bad picture, well I have the "bad" cat, and I can do bad pictures better than just about anyone. A real challenge here. Smile, grin!

    Darn, Now I have to put my cat somewhere in this pathway thing. And she doesn't even leave the upstairs. But you all will see her, what else do I have to do besides take really bad pictures of my cat.

    Thank you See Moon, I really like your shot, too. I love things like that. And I would have moved the motorcycle and ruined the whole shot, not completely ruined, but certainly not the great shot I think yours is.

    And the funny thing is it looks like where I live in South Carolina. Places like that are around here, sitting on land worth a fortune. I am embarrassed photographing them, well, they don't have the motorcycle, nor the path. The people are around, and they stare at me. Often they are kids, elementary school type, and I know they don't want me taking their pictures.

    I thought they were going to really yell at me at that cemetery, sitting with an AME Church, and the basket people of this low country. They kept coming over and "reminding" me not to get them in any of the pictures. I didn't plan on it, and I didn't. If I really want one, I will sneak it, but I didn't even want one. This time.
    But I was embarrassed, but determined to take those pictures.

    (Other than that, I could be living in Malaysia.)

    No, I don't think so. It looks good. You did a good job with the blur.

    Thank you, Damon. I actually haven't been inside the Hirshhorn yet. I work across the street and usually go walkin' around the Mall at lunchtime. I'll take a peak inside on the next rainy day.

    And, Sid, thanks to you as well.
