I love photographing the incredibly versatile trunks of the African Elephant... Thought this would be a good starting point for learning new techniques...
Any and all criticisms are welcomed...
Thanks Everyone, for taking the time to stop - I really appreciate your faves and comments.
Wow! I am surprised at the response! For those curious, the image was made up of shots I took in June of 2006. So the elements that make this up are sort of like my own stock photos. Zun "modeled" :-) for me last year and this shot of him was taken on my kitchen counter. (hope you don't mind me telling)
The sky is real. It's was an attempt to get a sharp shot of the full moon that failed bad.. but I kept several versions of this with the blurred moon. In Photoshop I flipped this horizontal and merged both halves on one layer. I did manage to get a clear shot of the moon during that same weekend. That is the moon you see here.. I made a selection of the moon and pasted it on to it's own layer and put it on top of the blurred moon in the original photo. I then took Zun's image and masked out the wall and counter. The picture of the orchid was taken on my bathroom vanity. I got a lot of use out of that single flower. It was the last one left on the plant. It fell off when I bumped the plant.
I masked out the flower and put it on it's own layer and then created many more layers with it. I rotated some, changed the color balance and sharpness on others and did a lot of resizing and masking to achieve the color and lighting effects.
I softened up Zun's picture using multiple methods and used color samples of his skin to paint and emphasize his eyes and lips and facial structure. Lastly I created the abstract swirl near his head by using lens flare and then distorting it with wave and ripple filters. Believe me! This an overview. I did a more things than I can recall here.
Still I can see spots that need more work. :-) It took about six hours over the course of the week and many versions to get this.
Zun... Thanks for the inspiration!

1.the time required to learn certain information,
2. A graph representing the rate of a learning process
I hope we have all learned that there is only one Earth, so take care of it!
Happy Earth Day 2011!

I went out this morning carrying a lighter load. It was hot at 6:30 am. Thanks for the comment, save and fave. It will be highly appreciated. No multi invites please. I will not comment or save a photo made by a cell phone, ipads or similar devices.
I thought a beer had finally been named after me, but closer inpsection proved otherwise. (See the one on the right)
A "cold snap" has descended on Brisbane, but the Sunday morning here is cloudless so sunny, and as soon as the ice melts it will be a lovely day.
Imagine these copper coils as my neck perhaps.

I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.
Well the good ol' days
May not return.
And the rocks might melt,
And the sea may burn.

This fledgling bluejay today was being shown around by his parents. Among other things, they introduced him to the peanuts we put out for them and, as it happened, to my presence on the deck taking pictures.

In the Ars Electronica Center's Machine Learning Studio visitors can use computer vision and machine learning applications to discover how machines learn and perceive their environment. Working with tech trainers, they can build and train self-driving model cars here, program robots with facial recognition, and gain insights into how they can teach these devices a wide variety of activities. Step-by-step, they can experience not only how these technologies function, but also that everything the machines know is determined by us.
