The abstract is a must have for me. If I can find one. This one is close.

    Thanks for commenting Randy... thumb.gif
    I hardly had to touch much in PP. Couple of small bumps and a little cropping.
    Was also very much pleased with the rich color.

    Michael,

    Being the color freak that I am, this stuff puts me into overload. I like it a lot. Very nicely done.

    One thing I would change if I had shot this....I would crop out the small pieces of the black background on the abstract. I would have nothing but color showing. A small point and certainly one of personal choice.

    Take care,

    Tom
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Hey Tom, as always I appreciate your thoughts. :D
    The black you mention did get a trimming to where it stands now.
    Think what I'll do is clone color into those areas. Nice suggestion. thumb.gif

    Many thanks Azzaro. :D
    Nice to hear my titles and photos don't line up. I'm bad that way.
    Now if only I can get em both right at the same time more than once a week.

    Thank you Craig. The painter did such fine colorful work... taking a
    photo or 2 was the easy part. :D But I can tell you that the lighting in
    there was fairly tough. I could barely find a spot that didn't have
    high reflections I could work past in some way.

    Kinda....but haven't gotten anything I'm happy with yet. Hopefully soon. Wish I had such colorful paintings in my neck of the woods :D

    My first thought when I saw the first one was, "The Incredible Mrs. Limpet"? mwink.gif

    Great shots! Fantastic color and sharpness. Very well done, DaddyO! thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Yeah, the 2nd abstract shot is tantalisingly close to something. You know, you might try to blend the same shot with itself, one turned 180deg, adjust the opacities, and with whatever blend mode works best - to get a kind of "swimming bodies" effect. ??

    Lee... I confess I had to look for it... Has it really been that long? Gads...
    But yes, I remember now. :D
    Appreciate the complement. thumb.gif Thank you.
