Haystacks N8
This is an altered photo ,which was originally taken in Romania, love the look of haystacks in fields ,each of different character , no haystacks are the same as the other in form and shape and feels to me like people in the fields or monks,dunno why ,lols. But this one was transformed by tweaking with the photoshop elements 6 , with the downside limitations of what you can do to an image ,but I'm happier it still does the basic tricks . I actually altered a lot of the original shapes by trial and error thingy ,like you do in a real acrylic or oil painting brush ( that for a long time I haven't done , just need to find the real time and best mood to do hands on again , otherwise it wont do better ). I find it mainly experimental when manipulating photos ,don't know the outcome until you're about halfway of the job , and it's always hit or miss , either you give up or carry on with the crappy outcome , this is what i call very amateurish in context . It's fun though ,but you learn a lot by experimenting .
The original photo is right below or here's the link to it : www.flickr.com/photos/pickled_newt/3028852177/sizes/o/ .
One note the light should not be behind this haystacks to have the glowy fronts ,otherwise it would come out as standing silhuettes of haystacks . Well,I thought it's better without that light.but anyway let's assume there's another light in front not seen in this image ,lols.
I wish I don't have to alter this image too much .
