At what point does a photo become an illustration or work of art? Photoshop recently launched its Sky Replacement tool, and this weekend I gave it a whirl. You can see the original image here:

The sky replacement was very, very simple. The water reflection took a lot of trial and effort; it's not yet part of the sky replacement built-in tool. The water area still needs about an hour more of attention to clean up some pixel peeping details.

It's an amazing transformation into a believable scene I dream of capturing - I am sure I could sell this as a work of art, and most people would never question the authenticity.

At what point do our edits change a photo to an illustration or work of art?

RECUERDA SIEMPRE que debes descargar el tamaño más grande...

ugh i love it but i'm finding myself drawing cuter and cuter looking things..we'll see if it fades out. Im working on a children's book competition thing so it has to last long enough to get that finished up.

I've got more time on my hands than usual, thank goodness. It's nice to just muck around and cut things in my unusually spacious days. Long may they last!

An illustration for Amelia's Magazine

This is a scan of an old print I shot years ago. I was using a Minolta XG-A camera ( auto exposure was the only mode), Kodak gold 200 and a wretched Vivitar 70-210 zoom. I couldn't tell ya what I had for breakfast, but I remember the details of this shot. I was going to be a wildlife photographer. Mosquito's and ticks changed my mind.
