Description


----
Happy T~K~W Day!
----

This was from a "Fungus Walk" sponsored by the "Friends of the Delaware Canal" at Washington Crossing Park (Pennsylvania) last Sunday.
----
I used the Topaz BuzSim preset in the "Simplify" plugin, and then applied Photoshop's Oil Painting filter. All this to create some extra interest and to disguise the "Inspector."
----
Congratulations to all the wonderful March Gold Winners!

Huh, well, Mel's right, although it hadn't occurred to me before. A "fungus walk" hadn't occurred to me either. Like the effect though. #11036174

Love how hes using the magnifying glass to get a real good look at the fungus. Love that title and I agree that you did a beautiful job with the affects to get this painted look. It makes for a gorgeous work of art. Love it Michelle. #11036714
