Mini-Challenge #313 Digital Art RESULTS

JAG

First off, I would like to say thank you to all who bravely left their comfort zone and participated in this challenge. Well done!

@sapphire73 Love the filters you used on all 3 of your images. All of them would have been worthy contenders if you wanted to be considered for the challenge. Thank you for showing! Kudos!
@Cavalier the treatments of 1 and 2 really catch my eyes, but 2 wins it over for me. I like the abstract of it all! Kudos!
@pegelli congrats on trying something new! Images 2 and 3 really stand out for me. Kudos!
@shawnc all 3 of your out of frames are wonderful! I like the staircase one the most. Kudos!
@DavidRGillespie nice work on showing 3 treatments to 1 image. I think I like 1 and 3, although I lean toward the abstract of 3 as the best of the bunch. But I do love a great abstract!
@grandmaR you did well for not having any expensive editor! I really love your #2 image of the pumpkin man! Kudos!
@SJOttoRodgers of the 3 you posted, number 1 really fits the theme of the challenge. I love the watercolor effect applied to the outline of the hummingbird. Kudos!
@lkbart all 3 of your images are great use of the mirrored effects. I like images 1 and 2 the best. The colors are fantastic! I really like the 3d effect of 1. Kudos!

Honorable mentions:
@pegelli "Stack of logs", image 2. I really liked how you did a fisheye on it too.
@DavidRGillespie "Twirl left and twirl right blended together", image 3. This one would make an interesting print!
@grandmaR "Spooky Pumpkin Man" image 2, the neon effect is very eerie. Nice work!

Great Mini, Joyce. Thanks for the third place nod!

And Shawn - great OOB art. Congratulations for the first place.

I only tried this once with a logo for a Photo Club I used to belong to. I had fun with it, but haven't done much since then (2012). Looking at your art makes want to do more, but a little intimidated by your great work! I'm not sure if I have the imagination that you have Anyway, here is the logo that once was used for Mariposa Photo Club:

Once I saw the Frame effect that Shawn posted, that was a winner.

I was using an old program called Picasa and it has that neoning that I used on the pumpkin man decoration.

Now I really like that! Now you have given me a new additional focus. Now I want to try the OOB with my grandkids...

To be perfectly honest, I truly did not expect to be selected....there are some beautiful works here.
Thank you for a very interesting challenge.
Congratulations to all those who were selected and participated.
@SJOttoRodgers I'm glad you saw my message to participate. Good for you!
@lkbart & @Cavalier I could swear you two were the winners. Beautiful work. Loving the colors.

Please bear with me as I develop a new challenge. I will get something posted by tomorrow..
