This spacey abstract started out as a snapshot of a sea star in the waterfront sidewalk window of the Seattle Aquarium.

Eventually it runs out.

Don't blame me. All I do is push the buttons.

This is a composite image. I captured the image of the Red-tailed Hawk yesterday morning, and the sky (background) about a month ago. The feathering took a bit of time, and it isn't perfect, but I do like the way it turned out. As with all my images, don't hesitate to give me any constructive critique. That is one of the best ways to grow as a photographer.

Some will say that is a mini-notkalvin, (nasty little things, some say), running across a field. The hand of [insert supreme being of choice here] reaches across to deal a mighty thwack to the back of the little dude's head.

That may be the case. but, even if it is not, we all know one thing:

There's no running in empty fields. Duh.

Re-worked an old image I like by replacing the plain negative space.

We were supposed to be painting the kitchen today, but, we both overslept ! Lol ! So instead I've been doodling and this is the result ... Influenced (I think) by the Pattern and Decoration Movement

Take a bowl and pitcher (made from Alaskan clay), add some artificial flowers, along with a favorite knick-knack (In this case an arctic fox) and you have cabin decor at its simplest.

I took this shot of the opera house in Sydney about a year ago.

Thought it would make a good candidate to play around with.

The balloons and reflection have been added in CS6.

I don't think there have ever been hot air balloons anywhere near this, it sure would look good.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking and all the comments, favourites on yesterdays project.
