A slight departure for me as I have always used my own models as the main subject. I have found, and used, a couple of stock images with different lighting just to see how my post processing and compositing looks on other types of images.
I have also, for the first time, tried using Nik Software's 'Color Efex Pro 4' to process the images.
The background is one of my Daz 3D renders used previously on the 'Night falls on the street' image.
Thanks to DeviantArt:
This guy has made an awful lot of his work available as stock. Check it out :)
made from my favorite dead rubbertree leaf.
I re-visited the leaf after plunging into playing for MC#08, the !MasterClass! topic, the Small World of Macro Florals.
The !tutor! suggested how this leaf would throw intriquing shadows..
Here, you see both shadows And reflections in the glossy photo paper ground the leaf sits on.
The Goldcrest being chased away by the resident Robin! Unfortunately, I missed a proper capture as the camera was left on a watercolour effect setting!
When the Empire finally reached planet Earth, the rebellion was already here. Ready and waiting. Thanks for the heads up, Jano.

Thanks to kren for the inspiration.
Original was a Holga shot, the colors were off and it was really overcast, so I thought it needed a make-over. Not much huh? ;)
I take these little strolls to the mailbox.. and I often can't do so without bringing back more than the mail. Consider these 'postcards", forwarded to you.
The Bills? Credit offers? Appointment reminders? I'll take care of those... those you can just leave.
An homage to the 'bomber girl' decals found on the sides of aircraft.

About
Homage to M.C.Escher.
This is my first post of an image made with e-fxg, a piece of software that I've written myself to do image manipulation, e-fxg is short for Erroba's effects generator ;-)
In the future I will upload many images created with the aid of e-fxg, to show the endless possibilities of this effects generator.
° e-fxg is entirely based on mathematical functions, each effect is pure mathematics, nothing more.
° e-fxg supports complex numbers.
° e-fxg is plugin based and has no notion what so ever of the actual formulas being applied, all a plugin does is provide the mathematical formulas to be used as an effect on the image.
° A plugin can expose properties to e-fxg, which automatically generates a user interface for these properties, so that parameters that influence the calculation can be tuned by the user to alter the effects.
The shot
The shot used to produce this image can be found here Gerechtshof.
Effect applied : Holomorphic transform
The formula of the holomorphic transform :
Pixel defined by x,y :
Complex number z = x+iy;
z=z+ (0.01 -.1i ) / z;
New pixel value taken from 'pixel' :
x = real part of z
y = imaginary part of z
Formula applied for 1 frame.
Photoshop
Nothing.
You
If you are interested in e-fxg as a user, please let me know and also give me an idea of what you would pay for a copy ( in US$ or € please ).
If you are a company and are interested to buy e-fxg to commercialize it, you can contact me through my profile.
All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are ( as always ) welcome.
Music
Yeah... a kiss... if it's not just right then I lose interest...
(Yikes, I am 2 weeks behind on this project and the year is coming to an end! Not because of lack of ideas, but lack of time... I must speed up!)

A little nod towards the Steampunk genre influenced by watching a film recently called Iron Sky with WW2 era Nazis living on the moon.
Still, gives me a chance to indulge in some guns and rubber again ;)
The background was shot last week in the plant room of a large hotel. Never thought it would come in handy!
This is a redux version (kind of...) of an image I did ages ago called 'The dark place'.
For this revisit - I thought I'd turn it around and instead of a dark place - it would be a place of light and safety (hopefully!)

A moody one incorporating a beach shot I did a short while ago.

I knew the shadows under his chair might be a problem so I just created a large soft shaded area which seems to work ok. I also had to fudge the blown highlight on his guitar. I have shots where I moved him to stop the reflection, but I liked his expression here.

(edit) as a side note: Chris was playing all the time I was shooting. It was like having my own free concert :)
they came with the morning tide / weakened as we were by years of prescription drugs and morning television we could not mount an effective defense / soon the world was quiet again
Woods on top of the Wrekin, near Telford, Shropshire. One good thing about the rain is that it makes forest photos so much better. It was damp and overcast when this shot was taken.
I used a polarising filter to reduce glare and a tripod. It almost exposed perfectly, but I used two other exposures (+/- 1eV) and blended all three in Photomatix to make a new layer, which I selectively blended into the original. This is a tip I got from Larry Gerbrandt's Flickr page: here
If intensity has anything to do with it, this prayer is going to be answered.
This is based on a photo which I downloaded from from Stockvault under a license that specifies I cannot transfer the license or use the image in a commercial project.
It's always a good idea to believe in something greater than yourself... As the result of this type of belief we tend to give value to ideals which stimulate us to achieve greater heights as human beings... Be the best you can be. Choose to believe in something amazing..!!!

Another dark and gritty world for my friend and model, Sarah-Jane to inhabit. I would have loved the car to be a certain Aston Martin DB5 - echoes of Skyfall - lol. Although similar shots of SJ have been used in my earlier composites. It's very cool to now be able to create a background that matches the original vision I had in my in head when I photographed SJ in the first place.
