Description

Original photo was cropped and then colorized in green (monthly theme). Then contrast, brightness, and saturation was adjusted. Kaleidoscope filter was applied, and finally, the image was sharpened.

Fantastic green design image, Cary. Thank you for commenting on my gull photo. You have a great gallery. Your bird shots are incredible.

Well, thank you Judyann! I began birding a couple of years ago, and what I witnessed eventually inspired me to get a camera--so I could share some of the beauty and wonder that I saw with others. Thanks for your complimentary words! #3548821

Very cool image Cary! :) #3549199

Thank you, Ivan. The flower clusters from the original photo have interesting geometric patterns, so I thought I'd try emphasizing them with more geometric manipulation. #3550107

Wow!! Cary, I love what you've created here. Awesome effects work!! I think we'll see this again. #3554976

Thank you Susana! I just posted the original photo--in Monthly Theme--from which I created this image. The plant is called common tansy....and I really like the spiral design in the normally-yellow "buttons." #3557505

Beautiful photo! Green dreams. It is like Oriental pictures. Lovely! #3706332

Cary Rogers December 15, 2006

Thank you Vlad. When I created this final image, I saw various dream-like faces in it--including the ancient "green man"--which I imagine Druids would see in their dreams. #3706361

Congratulations, Cary, on being a finalist!! Very nice effect (and I'm hoping "Concentration" wins next month!!) #3761214

Well THANK YOU, Janet! It would feel great to win an award for something I already love to do. :-) Thanks for all your encouraging comments! #3761400
