IDK where I'd be without you and your outstanding support. Thank you all so much for every kind word, well wish, and just being there. You are all so awesome. Thank You.
The title comes from the native phrase "Walk in Beauty".. and in this case refers to the leaves displaying beauty in this phase, which is, in itself leaving the beauty they once had.
The treatment is a homegrown blending, based very loosely on a manipulation technique referred to as the Orton Technique.
These are hydrangea leaves collected from my front walk.
I don't use PixelBenderOils much, but I like what it did for this furry little fellow who bedevils the birds in my yard. He had already made several passes through Photoshop for line and color.
Let's see if there are one hundred thoughts upon seeing this image of a penny floor, converted to an "amazing circle". The original is a shot in the dark of the inlaid floor of the Hotel Congress, Tucson, Arizona. I liked taking an image of multiples, and then turning them back into one "penny" of copper texture. Some of my friends and contacts will know just why I picked this title, in another metaphor.

My Kitchen Window (with forsythia)
For Snap Game windowsill and some yellow on the previous picture made me think of this one.
You can't really tell from this picture, but the glass in the window is what some of us call *wavy* glass and it was about 90 years old at the time. I don't have the house any more, but the window is now 110 years old.

****************************************************************
Sorry this isn't much bigger, but I took it with a Polaroid Camera back around 1990, and did some sliding on it, way before I even knew what sliding was. I dated it 2003 on the picture itself, as that is the year I was trying to learn how to post it and how to put script on my photo.

"For ABCs and 123s ~ K is for Kitchen Window"
For Dave C., the *soul* of this one was me learning how, right there in this kitchen, to do Polaroid Manipulations. What fun I had!
over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I'll be there
in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I'll be there
Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
I'll Be There
-The Escape Club
This is a lot harder to do than it seemed when I read the tutorial - especially if you're like me and don't have very good hand-eye coordination. I could have spent the next couple of days clicking around the paws and still wouldn't have got it right! You're supposed to add a 3-D frame to the photo, but that is well and truly beyond my current abilities.........however, it was a challenging and fun project to work on while I wait for a spell of "photographer's block" to pass.

two variations of Amazing Circles, inset back into an altered version of the feather details photo they were made from..
There were some layered duplicates of the two circles, set to blend differently after using the radial blur filter .. all in Photoshop.. two separate macro images of the peacock feather edge were used and color-altered separately, using Hue/Saturation layers.
The starry night was made using photoshops Noise filter, altered at different stages using the Threshold image adjustment, blurring with Gaussian Blur, then adding more noise.
I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,
and in the flickr Amazing Circles group: www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/116859/
I Am using the basic wondrous polar coordinates transformations as beautiful in and of themselves, but also as starting points for grounding them in their origins and/or creating new relationships for them.
Another work for CK Studios.

i found a diary underneath the tree
and started reading about me.
The words she've written took me by surprise
You never read them in her eyes
They said that she have found the love she've waited for
Wouldn't you know it
She wouldn't show it

Another quick dabble with frequency separation technique to smooth skin. It is quite easy to overdo it, and I think I've done that here. More practice methinks :)
To be honest, I'm marking time at the moment. Sarah-Jane and I are doing some new shots this week hopefully. So I can fine tune this technique on some new material.
You can see the before and after HERE
Strobist:
x1 Einstein640 boomed high just off centre right for main fill.
x1 AlienBees AB800 camera left and x1 AlienBees AB1600 camera right both shot through large softboxes to provide kicker light.
I put together this composite for the Make it Interesting Challenge Group. The target image of the penguins was provided by pareeerica, and the tropical scene is a shot I took from the deck of a home our entire family had rented for a week in Hanalei Bay, Kauai.
Perhaps someone can help me figure this out: Most of the fruit, being nearly round, comes to rest in random orientations, The Delicious apples in the center basket, though, show a strong preference for ending upside down. Why do you suppose this is. And let me ask this of my friends in the Southern Hemisphere: down there, do they come to rest right side up? The world is full of riddles, isn't it?
The full version is HERE
This shot became an interesting experiment in the art of Frequency Separation. It's a cool technique where you create two layers to work on. One layer is just the colour value and the other is just the detail. Detail separated from colour/tone makes retouching a much less daunting prospect.
I opted to tackle this one like full-on beauty retouching to see how much I could eradicate any unwanted lines and furrows. I think I've still got a lot of practising to do - but I kinda like the end result :)
I then composited the shot in the usual way, using the rendered bar scene I used from an earlier shot.
Strobist:
x1 Einstein640 boomed high just off centre right for main fill.
x1 AlienBees AB800 camera left and x1 AlienBees AB1600 camera right both shot through large softboxes to provide kicker light.
It was a dark and stormy night when the power shut down the boat. Floating endlessly, riding on the current of despair, they prayed for the light. When the storm stopped its relentless downpour, they are in the middle of no where, "Lost at Sea" with only the full moon and a lost bird to guide them.
A personal work this time...
