Here are some for fun.
It was very late at night.
I only remember the little house
would give no good outcomes until
the set of grays was used as pattern.

outstanding results ! (treeswinter2 is my fav)

Animicule, you really have how to use this filter MASTERED!!!!

wow, nice vase, Pat

Thank you. I had to try 3 or 4 images before I got one that worked well.

I like the textures in your vase Pat!
reminds me of my favorite guitar picks.
Photo selection is very important.
lately have been searching for Hi Def photos as
the chances of finding an excellent photo seem
a bit better (wallpaper sites, large hi def).
Experience helps on when to give up on a photo,
but persistence can bring a good result also.

Yes! some photos just do not work at all. I love your mini island-house. Does it exist or was that a fictional photo?

google Tiny Home On Drina River In Serbia Sits On Rock Surrounded By Water
I believe it to be real, you may find other photos of it as well.

A different look with an old Cord auto.

On a car kick last night.

Here is what they used to make cars with... hehe

just playing with curves (hope you don't mind....)



...and with a plasma as well

for today (15th of August)



(few patterns)

Dinasset & Animicule. Very nice with the artistic finished appearance.

Thank you once again Pat
and Dinassett I encourage that we all have fun!
The plasma look is great!
Assunta is ever better!!

and a big cat for Pat

Yes! I do like cats although that one does not look particularly friendly! I took Dinasset's advice and played with the curves. Gave this picture more colors than just blues.
