It looks like a Japanese painting; deserves to be "watercolored" at Kinko's! #159007Colette M. Metcalf August 17, 2004
Beautiful image, Pat!! #716330Isabel L August 17, 2004
Lovely photo Pat. The colors are very nice and the shot is very calming.Patricia A. Cale August 17, 2004
Thank you, Jose, Colette and Isabel.Jose: I printed this out on textured water color paper on my Epson 2200 set to watercolor paper and got that "watercolored" look without PS. It looked good, too.
Isabel: I turned in this shot at my nature photography class at Morton Arboretum. Everyone in the class liked the image, but no one expressed it as "calming". I like that! #716738

This is lovely with the soft colors and reflection, Pat, and you captured a very zen-like mood here as well! #718300Patricia A. Cale August 17, 2004
