I cut this daffodil several weeks ago and put it in a vase in a window. As it wilted, it began to slump and that is what attracted me to the flower. The techniques here are a bit of zoom blur, and the poster edges filter in PS.

No elements were added or removed, just edited for colors and softer look. Feedback would be much appreciated.

Clicking on the photo itself will show it in a new window, with black background (you may need to activate this feature on your profile page).

Many thanks!


I know I should not make so much of the title. I get the pipe; but not the dream. Anyway, back to the image. This seems to have a bit of an abstract feel to it. I like the bright almost lightning like highlights on the left of the composition which balances things our a bit. The texture and the color also work really well for me. I like it.

This scene of the Golden Gate Bridge was digitally painted with Clip Paint Studio. I enjoy colorful dramatic skies so this was an opportunity to create one.

One of the program's many features is the ability to draw and paint straight lines and create curves which came in handy when painting the bridge.


Awesome. I really like this image.

Hadn't posted in a while, lots of projects going on around the house. Did manage a little Photoshop time this morning. These are based on an illustration tutorial I saw on envato. All are done using my originals. I'll put the link to the tutorial after the pictures. Thought I'd share.

If you would like, please click on the picture, doing so will link you to the gallery page where the shot can be seen in higher resolution and full page. Thanks for viewing and Have A Blessed Day !!!

Whatever the effect is; I think it works best on the car. Very impactful image.

I like it. Looks like there is mist on the water that clears where the figure is to highlight the figure. Works well.

Love the colors and I really think you handled the tail well with the colors merging with the colors of the water. Nice.

has an air of mystery....but then I get that feeling from any Siamese cat. Nicely done.

My specialty is monochrome, but once in while I will stray to the more colorful side of the rainbow. This is one of those times.

I reached back to the pop art of Andy Warhol — and his Marilyn Monroe portrait in particular — for this fun portrait of my wife. The trick here was to try to recreate the look of a silk screen print, rather than just a posterized image. It took longer than I thought it would, but it was fun to do.


Even before I read your description, I was thinking "Pop" Art. You nailed it.

The snowman is one of my wife's Christmas decorations. I added a background, some snow and used the art history brush to create the effect. Thought I'd share.

That is well done and it is also a really good effect. Love the snow.

I've always liked the Star Wars hyperspace effect. I saw a tutorial on making one, so I did. The shot of me is from 2016, the arch shot is from unsplash and the background is the one I made yesterday. I'll include that background also if anyone is interested in using it on one of their projects. Thought I'd share.

Took me right back to the movies. That background can be very useful. Thanks

The background image is a PSD from pixabay, all the other elements are from my library. This was an experiment, mainly to make a new sketch brush. I didn't use any of the usual filters, only the brush on different layers using a mask of the subject, color fill layers, 3 textures, multiple other brush layers, and some adjustment layers. Next one I do I'll leave more of the sketch brush layers. Thought I'd share.

Very nice detail. I like the diagonal composition. The impression that they are floating in space give an other-worldly character to this composition that works really well for me. I like it.

works for me. Their is a softness that does not come from out of focus. (I can tell the eye is sharp); but it lends a painterly quality to the image. I like it.

Eric a.k.a. ebrunner posted a beautiful flower pic yesterday https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-805823-1.html and that inspired me to take some pics of my girlfriend's Freesia flowers. Thank you Eric.

Mine is not BW but I think that is ok for this shot. I submit the attached for your consideration.


I totally agree with all that has been said so far. The choice of color for the background to contrast with the bright red flowers is perfect in my estimation. You also filled the frame without crowding the edges. That helps with visual impact. I was wondering how it would look if you cropped so that the stem entered the composition directly at the corner. Then, when I looked at the photo again, I realized that crop would put the flowers right smack in the middle and I think the way you did it with the flowers slightly off set is more impactful. Great job.

Thanks to you and Erich for your kind comments. I I do miss being able to talk with dad.

I keep thinking of how I might improve the image to more fully tell what I want it to do. Maybe this minor change is more effective. --Richard


I am not sure if it makes the story that much more impactful. I think the decision should be based on your preference.

When I took a quick look I thought might be military. He looked like he was holding a rifle and wearing a helmet. Once my eyes adjusted I could see how very wrong I was.😀
Overall I think it works out. The fog the distant lighting and building. I understand your explanation with your tripod height. But it looks like he cast his line into the rocks. Perhaps cropping some of those rocks out would solve that problem.


No military engagements here, just a battle for the biggest fish. Thanks for taking a look. Glad you liked the photo.
