Well, I told myself that I wasn't going to post any more art work on this here photography board, but I'm having a weak moment...

Edit: By the replies below, I should have stated that these started out as normal photographs...

    Morning Randy,

    Thanks for Sharing these with Us, I really love the Bold Dramatic
    Colors of them both, but that First one really grabs me.

    Really like the look and style of these 2!!!

    Have a great Weekend!!
    Take care,

    Craig

    At the risk of coming off dumb, what is it that I'm looking at here????
    I ask because I know that you're a PS guru and LIKE to venture pretty deep into it - Are these images that started out as photographs then turned into 'digi art', or images of actual hand-crafted products?

    WETH it is,,,, I very much like #1 also.
    Like I mean,,, REALLY LIKE IT!

    Joel,

    I can't either, that's why I take photographs rolleyes1.gif

    I guess I should have stated first-off that these were from my photographs, well, originally.

    Thanks DB,

    As I stated above to Joel,

    I guess that I should have stated that these started as photographs, 'digi art' if that's the term. Sorry bout that...

    Good work on these Randy. I really like the red in the first one. You have a way of making reds look so rich looking.

    I really, really like the first. How do you do this? Do you have a workflow/standard processing sequence or do you just play with it until it looks right? What software do you use?

    The second is also interesting, but not as stunning as the first.

    Standard "Seat-O-Pants" processing using LR2 & CS2

    Meaning: Yes, mess with it till you get what you want

    Thanks for looking!

    Mr. Wells.
    Could we see the 'start up' image?

    It would be cool to see where/what it started from - Don't feel obligated; it's OK to say "no".

    DB,

    BTDT, and I wasn't pleased where the thread went from there. (People forum)

    So, I'll respectfully say "no" :D
