When I look at this I see a brain or a heart sat on a blood drenched cloth, all I would do is maybe fade the edge of the red square to take the sharpness away, good work cyan you would never guess now it was a light

Clasina46: I took your suggestions on the mad egg and changed it to a happier one and posted on p 135. I also tried B&W. Interestingly both restored the depth to it so I am extremely happy that you and Simon called me on it.

Creativ simon: I appreciate your comments and did a rework on it as I liked the pattern. Now it is considerably different. I have to learn to stay away from black holes.


RiverNan: Thanks for the compliment. Your post on 134 is excellent. It is a nice treatment of a peacock. I like your bird of Paradise!

Bb gun: I like the post with my favorite being the iris. The eyes have it—nice post.

JENNIFER: You have a unique colored flower post—very nice.

Cyan: Interesting image posted on p 134. Thanks for the compliments! The street art is impressive. I can’t come up with any edits that would be interesting. The one below them that looks like glass is neat!

Pgl: Pam, I think we must have sent our rain to you. It has been sunny and cold for about 4 days now. The Sandhill cranes series is very nice. You got them to pose well in both images with the clouds adding to the effect. Spot of pink is a nice frame for the tulip. Thanks for the compliment. I was surprised at how much of a change it made. Pink Clematis is very pretty.

Laskalass: I like your treatment of the horse!

RMM: You did a nice job fooling around. I think I might have found the eyes but that is all. Thanks for posting.

Tooth Maker: Your post looks like an alien spacecraft with a slim fuselage and lots of wing area. You have done a nice mix of color and pattern.

You can see a cat in the second one??? To be honest, it looks more like a fish to me! :)

"Fract-cats," I like that. Yes, there's a fractal filter in Gimp, which I think works in very nice fashion. It would be nice if a filter like that was in Photoshop. But at least I know where to go know when I'm after that effect.

well we are having miserable and ultra weird weather... temps in the late 30's and right now 47.....normally this time of year it is below zero! We are having rain...which melts the loose snow off of the roads and walkways but leaves the hard packed ice underneath and makes walking treacherous! In fact we never call off school for snow since our buses are equipped with snow chains that come over the tires automatically...the driver doesnt even have to leave the bus..just push a button...but ice? thats a different story so schools are cancelled today!

You are right. I didn't look at it that way--I just was using a means to something new and didn't look at what I created. This is not the first time. Thanks for mentioning it--I'll have to watch as either you or Cyan will get me. I post another I worked on tonight.
