Water levels are still very low in Cumbria, despite my presence. Something that is always guaranteed to bring rain, maybe it knows I can't get up a mountain and is just taunting me?

I posted a shot for Sliders Sunday last week. It was one of a set of variations on the theme all based on one original picture.

I didn’t have time to publish the rest at the time so I’ll do it now, in case it interests anyone.

The fun for me is in creating these different endpoints and seeing which ones work and which don’t. It’s always interesting to hear which you prefer too as that often surprises me.

The original image is linked in the first comment. I did about ten variants in all but I’ll only share the ones that I like for some reason or the other.

I absolutely love this one for the graphic illustrative look. I especially like the sedum flowers up in the top left, and the surreal twirliness of the small leaf veins.

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the images (and don’t get too bored!)

[This one was made using Topaz Studio 2 starting from the Melting preset and then tweaked and processed from there.]

snow is most beautiful when you are not driving through traffic but sitting next to a pond watching the quiet descend

Explored Dec. 18, 2011 Thank you, and happy peaceful holidays to all my friends

Red berries wrinkling with age.

It was a great evening to go to the lake, and get a few shots. This was right before sunset with the sun directly behind the flower. I used a little flash to light up the front of the shot.

and suddenly it's late November

I really liked the detail in the rock which gives a sort of lead in line to the falls.
