Some of my artworks

SkyRoma · **Posted:** Tue Oct 02, 2012 7:43 am **(#1)**

Yup, a quick collection of some of the stuff I' ve done over the past 2 years. Call it a best of? I don' t know but I' m quite happy with these

All of these are photomanipulations of my own photos.
You have to click on some of them to see them in original size.

Tell me how you like them!

edit: Would these be better off in the Photo Restoration/Manipulation subforum? If yes, can a mod please move it?

Speaking as an ex used to be professional photographer, those are quite good.

Wow, the photography is amazing! I really like the Lego guy standing up. Did you solely use Gimp to edit these?

Thanks guys. Yea, I use GIMP exclusively.
Esper: Those are not stones. Actually I' ve showed that image to about 30 people and only one person actually knew what it was right away. I' ll keep the secret though :paint

An Mal: I' ll see if I will post the original photos when I post my next work(s). I guess you could describe most of them as pretty dull :gimp

Those photographs are excellent, every one of them!
Are the "glossy stones" clam shells?

Are they those clear stones used for flower arrangement with a blue light underneath?
