Well here I am, hard at work and loving every minute of it. If I'm going to have my photograph taken, this is how I like it best, my back to the camera! LOL... I think my daughter captured this scene when I was deep in thought! :)
Sometimes I like to jazz-up a pic purely to make it somewhat different to the norm. Roses are always beautiful 'au naturelle' but I liked the impact of the colourful effect on this one.
My go to post processing is usually done with Paintshop Pro , but I used 'Smart Photo Editor' for this pic. They have hundreds of instant artistic effects to choose from, which themselves can be altered/ adjusted to your own taste. They are effects that have been submitted by the site's users. It's great fun and gets the creative juices flowing.
Photography is my passion for a few years now.
And to share it with the person I love is more than amazing...

An American Crow takes off from high atop the pine tree, and I was fortunate enough to capture him in flight as he did.

When I saw this guy aiming at the setting sun I hoped I would get a "starburst" if I positioned myself correctly, and voila! He moved his arm a few times and it finally worked. f/18 and ISO 400.
Capturing Rochester is a chance to get out with friends and enjoy their different perspectives on the things that seem so commonplace. New angles, new ideas, and new life.

One minute after the chase scene in my previous image, the two young cheetahs captured their prey. This was a learning experience for them, and their mother did not interfere.
The two young cheetahs were not very experienced in the art of the kill. Once they caught the impala, they did not really know how to deal the death blow. Usually, large cats go for the throat right away in a pursuit, but cheetahs do not do this. Instead, they will first run up to the animal and knock it over; then, they will suffocate their prey by clamping down on the throat. The young cheetahs tried several times to knock the hind legs out from under the impala before it was caught.
Once a cheetah has subdued the prey, it may begin eating it before it is dead. This is to reduce the chances of a scavenger, such as a hyena, or a larger big cat like a lion coming along and robbing the cheetah of the prize it worked so hard to win.

Artists Statement:
This painting captures a fleeting moment in early winter, where the landscape is transformed by the low, golden light that bathes the scene. The curving river bank, gently blanketed in snow, is outlined on the one side by trees whose tops glow with the warm hues of the rising sun. Painted in a high-key fashion, the work employs soft, coarse horizontal strokes for the water and a smoothness to evoke the feel of the flat white snowy fields, while the water—rich in greys, reds, and pale purples—reflects the cold light and the dark reflections of the trees, creating an interplay of warmth and chill.
The overall composition is designed to feel ephemeral, as the edges of the scene gradually fade into the surrounding whiteness of the snow, giving the viewer a sense of both the vastness and quiet intimacy of winter. The trees, though delicate in their soft brushwork, stand resilient against the cold, their glowing tops providing a gentle contrast to the more muted colours of the water and the snow.
In this piece, I sought to explore the subtle beauty of winter’s transitional moments, where the harshness of the season meets the fragile warmth of light. The interplay of colour and light, combined with the fading edges, speaks to the transient nature of time—how moments of clarity are often fleeting, but nonetheless beautiful in their impermanence.

The Nigella (Love-in-a-mist) have been very prolific this year. This flower bud was taken in the middle of a Nigella forest on the drive of my daughter’s home.
They’re a really odd plant to look at, with spiky leaves and strange flowers, and even stranger seedheads. Very alien.
This was cooked, monochromed and blue-toned using Silver Efex. Before that, though, it had a fair bit of prestidigitation in Viveza and Color Efex, and it was finished off with Topaz DeNoise. In other words I was having too much fun playing. I hope you like the result, though, a heart in a cage.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Donnerstagsmonochrom :)
