Playing with my photos

[Issabella]

And, for the curious, the seamless texture. Also, if it's alright with you, Issabella, can I post this one at my Deviant?

Lyle, of course you can do it. You did a nice pattern. I love it

[Issabella]

Dinasset, other nice transformation of a simple shot. Thanks.
David, I learn from you about your corrections of a photo. I have so much to learn. Thanks.
teapot, thank you for your contributions. Nice effects.

Huge Catch

Not really satisfied with the texture created to make this result (thus not sharing). Even so, why not a huge catch. lol

[Issabella]

Dinasset, I love watercolour. you got a very nice effect on it. (I didn't et so nice outcome as you with watercolour)
teapot, that window effect of the pic is great.
Lyle, your transformations are always so attractive.
Thanks my friends.
These ones are from Seville. (Museum)

I have tried to make the vase stand out for the background.

Two different approaches.
For the first I used my equal luminosity mask plug-in.

For the second I made a selection of the horses using Threshold on a new layer, so that I could invert the selection and clear the background. Then I used this layer as a contrast mask followed by Curves to make the final adjustment.

David, great improvement on both ways on the horses. Your masks work awesome and you know how to apply them
Also, A nice whole effect on the picture (porcelana)
Thanks, Gimper.

Marblelous Flowers

It's what I do. lol

And why not a string art of Issabella's rose.

[david]

By way of an experiment I have increased the saturation of the outer petals and decreased it for the centre.

You guys are real quick with your offerings
Anyway here is mine from Issa's original - straightened up/brightened up the back street with 'wine bottle bowling', some window flowers and a couple of kookaburras visiting from Oz.

Haven't done a straight landscape in a while.
