Time for something a bit different

[dinasset]

Really creative, and well done; great, Pat!
OMG, look: glass may bring to ... a mortal sin!

[Issabella]

Pat, I love your creation. Good idea and realization.

[Pat625]

Thank you very much, Dinasset and Issabella.

Pat - that is really something; just love it the subject and the composition .

But you really have set me a challenge to come with something even close in standard.

[Pat625]

Thank you,OMG, for your very kind comments. However, you have set the standard high, not I. I think the others would agree that your talent and imagination are outstanding, and your willingness to share with us makes us all better.

I still love glass!! This is a combo of brick, Wood carve, BRL for the wood and center glass design. Also used Graechan's Wrought Iron script for the metal trim. It is a practice session.

Vey very nice, both the composition and each single component. Well done, Pat.

Hi Pat,
Good Attempt. Vertical and Horizontal Bars appear to be separate from the circular rings. Bars need to be joined to the rings.

[dinasset]

Not necessarily, Rashid, we could see the bars as a residual BG under the waterfall image four slices.

[Pat625]

Thank you, Dinasset, and Rashid for your comments and suggestions. I was undecided as to what to do with the wood bars and rings as far as appearance of being joined. I took the lazy option of thinking the wood was screwed into the rings from the back so there are no marks on the front! I could be wrong. . . . .

[dinasset]

IMO it's not wong, but -if you like- you may try to follow Rashid's suggestion.

Just testing to see if the images can now be posted ... well yes they can so here is a photo I took at Mayfield Gardens up in the mountains. I wonder how the shark got into the lake ...

I'm glad the posting images issue is fixed.
And a shark in the fishpond....you get used to it in Aussieland.

Thinking of moving GIMP off Windows10 to my Linux Mint machine - so I made some new LM wallpapers as a welcome gift -







'To move or not to move, that is the question'

[Tas_mania]

Hi OMG. I really like the first graphic.
Why not use Gimp on both machines? You may even be able to copy the Gimp folder across to Linux.
Haven't tried it but I do copy the Gimp folder between Linux machines.
A lot easier than installing every script and plugin again.

Pat has got me back to animations again, so here is an 'apng' (better than gif )

The word solitude has developed more meaning as I get older. I posted a glass solitude image in another thread and then I thought of places that positivley encourage solitude. So this photo manip comes from two such places, the Katherine Gorge in our Northern Territory and Shark Bay at Monkey Mia in Western Australia, both great places to visit.

[Issabella]

I love your solitude place, OMG. I think as you OMG, "The word solitude has developed more meaning as I get older" I think that it's very necessary to grow spiritually.

[Pat625]

OMG, I love all your images. The apng does not work on Windows so I'll have to check it on my iPad. Since I am old (older, he he) I must agree with you and Issabella about solitude. I never thought about it when I was young!

[dinasset]

Pat, there is an APNG support for GIMP in SourceForge, but I do not know if and how it works.
Maybe someone here can post a comment/evaluation on that?
