Description


----
Shot this yesterday in the midday sunshine just outside my neighbor's living room. It was pretty, but not exceptional (see remarks section). Buzz would be too passe but looked more interesting. Then I remembered Dynamic Auto Painter (DAP). I set it on "Monet," selected a bright color palette and "let 'er fly!"

CALL ME A TRADITIONALIST
I like the BASIC PHOTO BEST
I am AMAZED by how easy it is to PLUG in a MASTERS name and you get the effect...
Feel as if I AM STUCK in the DARK AGES AT TIMES.
That however would be a GOOD PLACE FOR MY GENERAL ATTITUDE but now I digress !!!

HAPPY FORGING ;0)

I think the original was beautiful, but now that you did the transformation, I can see that you took that beauty and kicked it up to a much higher level. It is amazing what can be done to a photo with the various software out there. This painted look is certainly worth having. A beautiful painting my friend.
Have yourself a wonderful day. #9587567

Uh oh. I think you need to enter them all! :D They are each beautiful in their own ways!!!

This is an excellent reminder that I MUST get my PSE7 hooked back up on the new lappy. I miss my funny business effects! HeeHee...

I'd say this one is serious business in the BP beauty contest.
