Thank You! Allan, as always, my friend! This is part of the stained glass window of a church (Wai'oli Mission) on the northern part of the island. I'll upload the "before" of this image! Much Aloha, and Hi! to Judy ... Stan

Striking image. Very creative effort. The structure of the stacked arches contrasts nicely with the colored windows. Beautiful.

Hi, everyone!! As Mary said, it's sooo easy to get addicted to those effects, and I just kept on adding them on to see the changes, which was fun! Thank You! all so very much; Wayne (that's a great panel! My pleasure with the tidbit!); Kelly, (the digital darkroom is so much nicer!!); Hi, Dean (thanks for stopping by!); DIANE, Darren, Leanne (I always appreciate your kind comments); Hi, Wendy (my favorite color, blue!); Linnea, thank you for the encouragement; Robin, I am thankful for your generosity!; Murry, I'll do it with the next scenic, but it wouldn't have been as much fun seeing all of the changes along the way :-); Dan, your comments are always positive, and I appreciate them; Thanks, bill, you are very generous; and Mary, my friend, you're so right about those effects!! Many thanks once again everyone!! Aloha, Stan

Thank You!, Phil, as I appreciate your taking the time to stop and comment. Are we still able to see the top of your home from across the lake or are you inundated by snow? You can send some of that chill down here where are high is 85 and low is 76 with morning showers and 5-10mph tradewinds, and this is the forecast for the rest of the week! The humidity was at 74 yesterday ... ugh!! Thank You!, too, Wilson and it's always good to hear from you! Aloha, Stan
