Three year average (mean).
Three years ago now I made a little Processing script to average sets of photos, and a few weeks before that I started a photo-a-day project, where I was careful to get as close to the same angle as possible.
This image is the result of finding the mean (sum of all values / number of items) of the whole three years of photos.

When the wind blows, you hear me,
When the hair behind your neck stands, you feel me,
When your nostrils are filled with a sweet scent, you know I'm there ...
I'm always around ...
My Mom's 'Love In A Mist' , this time with a light blue petal-tip.
I wanted to have another crack at those soft diaphanous petals, and got the 'nest' of soft spikes underneath in stark shapes against the fading daylight.

Pimped Picture 55a Removed colour cast from image then removed background and smoothed out the cut edges around the body to blend with the background so cut out visable then some burning in work to bring out shadow detail on the body then softened skin and cleaned up complexion also a little sharpening work done on the eyes and the stockings also enhanced body shape around the legs and arms to give a smoother more curvy appearance then hand drawn new background with floor area creating perspective to give a solid floor then added body shadows and additional lighting detail to give body the illusion of 3 dimensional belonging then added fill in flash to pull the eye into the models face then added several background marquee's to give shadow and depth to the image. This was done as part of flickr group Pimp My Pixels.

Since the theme of the week is “worry”, I wanted to show off a series of direct mail pieces that I concepted and illustrated. The illustrations were created using Illustrator and Photoshop as a photomontage. However, my favorite part is the powerful copywriting that engages the senses. I included an excerpt.
Adrift in the South Pacific night. Awash in a leaky raft. And you’ve got company.
Unenviable circumstances. Raw. Exposed. Unseen visitors cut a course through your ebbing confidence. Circling. The bumps and brushes are purposeful. Sensing your vulnerability. Tread water and fall prey. Embark upon a panicked swim to safety only to find that the nearest solid ground is two miles straight down. Rather than becoming someone’s entree, take a stand before calamity befalls you. Proactively face the unforeseen by preparing a sustainable plan for survival.
So... here's the final picture (right) compared to my original picture (left):
Most obviously I added some more interesting sky from a stock photo.
I played around with Photoshop's shadows/highlights function (which is actually not intended for the use with plain normal JPEGs, but sometimes works), selective color adjustment (especially the cyans), brightness, contrast, saturation and lightness. A veeeery slight vignette effect from the distort→lens correction filter. That's it.
Photo Manipulation is the art of transforming ordinary images into extraordinary visual experiences through digital editing techniques. This process goes beyond mere photo editing, allowing photographers, graphic designers, and artists to creatively alter and enhance images. Whether it's combining multiple photos into a seamless composition, retouching portraits to perfection, or creating surreal scenes that defy reality, photo manipulation offers endless possibilities. As technology continues to advance, the tools and techniques available for photo manipulation become more sophisticated, enabling even greater creativity and precision.
This was one of the most beautiful childhood photographs I did ever see, I actually can't remember where I took it.
