Variation on my previous image with this one comprised of 4 photos. It came out somewhat less Halloween like and more Van Gogh. The sky was a picture of rocks that looked better upside down and merged with the clouds.
Original image of Corn Field by lensletter. Image created for the Treat This challenge 153 of the Kreative People group.
Process: I've been experimenting with the filters of the camera on my old Motorola Photon phone, so I took a picture of the Corn Field image in the GIMP work area, straight from my computer screen, using the "negative" filter. After a bit of color processing, I then added the magnifying glass to give a more meta-feel to the scene. The flowers at the bottom came from my own photo.

Mosaic Hanukkah Menorah Eighth Day (2014 CE = 5775 Hebrew)
I have tried to bring out the detail within the blue electric lights in this menorah... I am fascinated by the different effects, and I enjoy pondering them all, for the insights and flashes of intuition and understanding they reveal... In other words, it's tons of fun, honeybun!

Majolika-Manufaktur was set up at Karlsruhe in south-west Germany in 1901 in a pottery built by Grand Duke Friedrich I. The raison d'etre for the pottery was the desire of two German pictorial artists, Wilhelm Süs and Hans Thoma, to produce ceramics in the Italian Renaissance style.
Towards the end of the decade a style had developed with designs, often churubim, on a blue background. Domestic and decorative wares were produced using designs by various artists, and the company started the production of architectural and outdoor ceramics.
In the following years the pottery passed through various hands, at one time being occupied by Villeroy and Bosch, the premises being owned by the state of Baden. In 1927 the word 'Staatliche' was added to the name to indicate state ownership. Top designers of the day were employed, notably Ludwig König and Max Läuger.
The factory was badly damaged by bombs in 1944, and was not back into full-time production of decorative goods until the 1950s, after which business resumed much as in pre-war days with company-employed and freelance designers. Examples of the company's products can be seen at the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe.

A narrowband (HOO Palette) image of an interesting section in the Vela Supernova Remnant (also known as Vela XYZ; Gum 16; SNR G263.9-03.3; 1E 0840.0-4430; RE J083854-430902).
The Vela Supernova Remnant is in the Southern constellation Vela. Its source (a Type II Supernova) exploded approximately 11,000–12,300 years ago, at a distance of about 800 light-years away. The association of the Vela Supernova Remnant with the Vela Pulsar, is direct observational evidence of Supernovae form Neutron stars. The Vela Supernova Remnant includes NGC 2736, and it also overlaps with the Puppis Supernova Remnant. Both the Puppis and Vela Remnants are among the largest and brightest features in the X-ray sky.
Elements are made at different stages in a star's life-cycle, and spread through the Universe in Supernova explosions. “The Nitrogen in our DNA, the Calcium in our teeth, the Iron in our blood, the Carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos.

Some of what I teach has to do with sensory perception, and how different animals sense different portions of the energy spectrum. That different animals live in different sensory worlds.
A while back I took a photo that I had and photoshopped it. It was taken from the deck of a place I was staying in Maine. It's not a great photo, but perfect for my purposes.
Just today I gave this "quiz" to a set of students, and got the same results as other times I'd presented the quiz. Very interesting results.
Thus it occurred to me to wonder which picture the experts out there, flickr members, would choose as the "real" photo. I mean the one I took with my digital camera and downloaded, versus the other four that I photoshopped.
So, I'd be most grateful to viewers if they would give their vote (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) in the comments.
Uh, I'm a scientist, btw. I'm really interested in the responses of photographers, versus those of my students..
RGB-channels of images used as matrices, result of applying products:
R3 = R' × R2
G3 = G' × G2
B3 = B' × B2
So each pixel is the dot product of a row in one image with a column in another - and yes, there's is a whole lot of counting for the computer to do this !
(× : matrix product, ' : transpose, R,G,B channel of one input, R2,G2,B2 channels on another input source)
... experiment, you know :)
I like these soft etherreal portraits of Miss Cecily... I captured these in my Tucson garden... Probably in the spring... They are amongst my favorites... I enjoy using them in unusual ways to see if the effect comes closer to what is in my mind and my imagination...
Miss Cecily picked this flower from a yellow chocolate plant. In the early morning, when it's relatively cool, before the sun is strong, the flower's fragrance is of chocolate. Hence the name... The plant is a perennial. I have it growing under trees...
Chocolate Flower
(Berlandiera lyrata)
Yes, Chocolate Flower does have a delicious chocolate fragrance, especially in the morning. In addition, this Southwest native is very hardy and drought tolerant. It attracts butterflies and beneficial insects and the seed heads are attractive in dried arrangements. For maximum impact and fragrance, plant in groups along a walkway or patio. Also called chocolate daisy, greeneyes, lyre-leaf greeneyes and brooch flower.
Flower Type: Perennial
Bloom Time: Summer
Height: 10" to 20"
Exposure: Full Sun
Chocolate Scented Daisy (Berlandiera lyrata), a quarter-size, vibrant, yellow daisy with striking red striped undersides and chocolate-colored stamens.
A small plant with an airy habit, Chocolate Scented Daisy (sometimes called Chocolate Flower) makes a nice, informal edging plant, and is most impressive and most fragrant when planted in groups. Although native to the Southwest, it has shown itself to be adaptable to a wide spectrum of conditions. It dies back to the ground in winter and returns with a larger crown each spring, ultimately reaching about two feet across and about 18 inches high. A night bloomer, the flowers offer up their Cocoa scent in the morning and drop their colorful petals each day as the temperature rises.
Left behind is a set of green calyxes cupped around the center of the flower. The effect is like a daisy with a green eye, which is why Berlandiera is also referred to as Green Eyes. In Texas and Florida, there are slightly different species of Berlandiera and these are, respectively, called Texas and Florida Green Eyes.
The calyxes flatten outward and make a convenient holder on which the large milk chocolate colored seeds will ripen. Left alone to drop or be carried, these seeds come up readily the next spring.
If harvested before the seeds come loose at the center (note the cream colored attachment points around the middle), these make an attractive addition to the autumn dried arrangement.
As this little beneficial wasp has discovered the fragrant part of the Chocolate Daisy is the stamens. Like many ray flowers, Chocolate Daisy is an important beneficial insect attractor. Diversity is important when trying to attract these helpful insects. Planting many different kinds of flowers provides for the varied tastes of this diverse population.
The fragrant stamens do taste like Cocoa, or more accurately like unsweetened Chocolate. But, they are much more enjoyable adding their delicious fragrance to the garden.
Picachu Peak shot through the drivers side window from the passenger seat two weeks ago. I have zoomed in a bit, and I see a strong facial silhouette at the top of the peak. Is that the lady in the moon? Also resembles the huge statues on Easter Island... I never noticed any of this before...;)
This is my first image that I have processed using Lightroom 5. I am just beginning to learn to use this tool, and I clearly need a book... Any recommendations?

I identified this square a few years ago, but i have forgotten... Ahaa, I found it again. It's Madison Square. in the center of this cropped version of the original is the Flatiron Building. It got its name from the shape of "flat irons" which were heated on stoves and used for ironing clothes by hand before the invention of the electric iron. I never saw a flatiron being used. I used to see this building on Sunday nights sitting or lying on the back seat of my Dad's black Buick sedan.
View looking south (downtown) from the Empire State Building at part of the Flatiron District.
The Flatiron Building is the triangular building in the center. The trees at the lower left are in Madison Square Park. Madison Square is the intersection in front of the Flatiron, where Fifth Avenue and Broadway cross. (Heading south, Fifth goes to the right, Broadway to the left.) The trees of Union Square Park can be seen in the top left of the image.
The Flatiron Building is one of my favorite buildings... I remember looking out our Buick sedan's rear window at this amazing building on Sunday nights while driving from Times Square to the Holland Tunnel.
________________________
The Flatiron District is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan, named after the Flatiron Building at 23rd Street, Broadway and Fifth Avenue. Generally the Flatiron District can be said to be bounded by 20th Street, Union Square and Greenwich Village to the south; the Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) or Seventh Avenue and Chelsea to the west; 25th Street and NoMad to the north; Rose Hill to the northeast, and Lexington Avenue/Irving Place, Gramercy Park to the east.
Broadway cuts through the middle of the district, and Madison Avenue begins at 23rd Street and runs north. At the north (uptown) end of the district is Madison Square Park, which was completely renovated in 2001. The Flatiron District encompasses within its boundaries the Ladies' Mile Historic District and the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt, a National Historic Site.
The Flatiron District is part of New York City's Manhattan Community Board 5.[3]
History and Name
The designation "Flatiron District" for this area is of relatively recent vintage, dating from around 1985, and came about because of its increasingly residential character,[4] and the influx of many restaurants into the area[5] – real estate agents needed an appealing name to call the area in their ads. Before that, the area was primarily commercial, with numerous small clothing and toy manufacturers,[6] and was sometimes called the Toy District. The Toy Center buildings at 23rd Street and Broadway date from this period, and the annual American International Toy Fair took place there beginning in 1903, except for 1945.
When much of this business moved outside the U.S., the area began to be referred to as the Photo District[6] because of the large number of photographers' studios and associated businesses located there, the photographers having come because of the relatively cheap rents.[7]
As of the 2000s, many publishers have their offices in the district, as well as advertising agencies,[8] and the number of computer- and Web-related start-up companies in the area caused it to be considered part of "Silicon Alley" or "Multimedia Gulch", along with TriBeCa and SoHo,[9] although this usage declined considerably after the dot.com bubble burst.
Buildings
The Flatiron District is located in the part of Manhattan where the bedrock Manhattan schist is located deeper underground that it is above 29th Street and below Canal Street, and as a result, and under the influence of zoning laws, the tallest buildings in the area top out at around 20 stories, and older buildings of 3-6 floors are numerous, especially on the side streets.
Notable buildings in the district include the Flatiron Building, one of the oldest of the original New York skyscrapers, and just to east at 1 Madison Avenue is the Met Life Tower, built in 1909 and the tallest building in the world until 1913, when the Woolworth Building was completed. It is now occupied by Credit Suisse since MetLife moved their headquarters to the Pan Am Building. The 700-foot (210 m) marble clock tower of this building dominates Madison Square and the park there.
Nearby, on Madison Avenue between 26th and 27th Streets, on the site of the old Madison Square Garden, is the New York Life Building, built in 1928 and designed by Cass Gilbert, with a square tower topped by a striking gilded pyramid. Also of note is the statuary adorning the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court on Madison Avenue at 25th Street.
Completed in 2010, "One Madison Park", an exclusive 50 story luxury residential condominium tower, sits at 22 East 23rd Street, at the foot of Madison Avenue, across from Madison Square Park. It is nearly as tall as the Met Life Tower (617.5 feet (188.2 m), compared to 700 feet (210 m) for the Tower), and taller than the Flatiron Building.[11] The asking price for the triplex penthouse is $45 million.[12]
Education
Baruch College of the City University of New York, is located on E. 23rd Street and Lexington Avenue on the eastern edge of the district. The College sits on the former site of the Free Academy (now City College of New York), which was founded in 1847 and was the first institution of free public higher education in the United States. Baruch's Newman Vertical Campus as well as the Zicklin School of Business, the largest collegiate school of business in the United States, are also located on 24th and 25th Streets between Third and Lexington Avenues.
Culture and Shopping
Giving this area a bit of color are the Museum of Sex and the Gershwin Hotel, both located on 27th Street. The Gershwin is a tribute to the late pop artist Andy Warhol, and features some of his art and memorabilia throughout the hotel.
There are also many stores around the area, such as Ann Taylor, Victoria's Secret, Club Monaco and Origins. "Big-box" retailers dominate Sixth Avenue between 14th Street and 23rd Street, at the district's western edge.

Long range photo over a lake of a graveyard on a late autumn afternoon. This is the 15th different version I've tried including ones with so much color that you couldn't tell what the picture was about. But when I desaturated the image I liked it better. Maybe I should get a life, but then again making these images seem to be my life.
The guy sitting next to her, by sea, asked
"How much do You care for me ?"
She smiled, played with her hairs and looking at him finally answered
"I … I don't know, but … but I feel like i am a child with You and I play with you, my forever game".
Answering this without really thinking too much and trying to say something cute.
He was surprised, even almost offended by the words, and said:
"So this is how much you care for me ? "
An old man sitting nearby smiled and giggled. The boy turned to him and in a loud voice"
"And You - why do you laugh ? You are an experienced man, Is this what love is supposed to be ?"
Saying it loud almost wanting to make her feel ashamed
The man looked at him, bold and angry, then turned his face to her, and then he thus spoke:
"My Dear friend, have you ever tried to take away a game from a child that plays ?
My Dear friend have you ever tried to detach someone from his entire world ?
A child that plays is not playing with the game he rather ... IS the game, it is his entire world;
there is no outside, no thoughts about breathing, eating,
about being tired or sleepy, this is how important it is."
"Are you sure You don't want something so pure, are You sure she is THAT much for you ?"
The man was not even finished speaking before the boy had tears in his eyes, such a fool he was...
And so proud of his girl.

This well maintained house looks old and in need of repair through them magic of photo editing. I intended to make the place look warm and cozy - which it actually is - but I guess my photography and photoshop technique is slightly off. I'm not sure the owners would appeciate what I did.
Broadband + Narrowband (IVB + Hα & O-III) composite image of NGC 3077 using images acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys instrument in September 2006 and its Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 instrument in May 2001.
Object Info:
NGC 3077 is a small galaxy in the Northern constellation of Ursa Major and is part of the M81 group of galaxies. It is an active galaxy, gravitational interaction with its larger neighbors has scattered dust clouds around and triggered star formation. NGC 3077 was discovered by William Herschel on November 8th, 1801.
Processing Details:
Image is a composite of broadband Infrared, Visible and Blue filter images taken with HST's ACS instrument, along with narrowband Hydrogen Alpha (Hα) and Doubly-ionized oxygen (O-III) filter images taken with HST's WFPC2 instrument. Broadband data was combined as a typical IVB image. With infrared band data assigned to red, visible band data assigned to green, and blue band data assigned to blue. Colors were calibrated using Rogelio Bernal Andreo's WhiteCal plugin for Adobe Photoshop. WhiteCal makes the simplifying assumption that the combined starlight from a galaxy is white in color. It then sets the white-balance of the image accordingly.
Narrowband data was overlaid on top of the broadband data, and then scaled up 200% to account for the differing pixel sizes between WFPC2 and ACS. Hα and O-III data were combined in an HOO palette, with Hα assigned to the red channel and O-III assigned to the green and blue channels. For the red channel, Hα was blended with O-III at an 80-20% ratio. This gives the Hα a more natural, pinkish appearance. O-III data was given a noise reduction and stretched significantly to make up for the weakness of the signal. Narrowband image was overlaid on top of the broadband image and blended in using the "Screen: blending mode.

Star Trek Fun With Norman Walker's Tuesday Modern-I Dance Class - Mosaic #2
I definitely want this scenario for my holodeck.
1. Levitate-Glow-Dissolve, 2. ~Levitate~ ~Hovering Glowing Pointing Dancers~, 3. Dissolve To White Aura, 4. Glitterate Alliterate Levitate Sublimate Evaporate
I like the flow of this Left to Right sequence better. It's more like Star Trek's transporter effect.
This little vignette is after a photo shoot in one of Mister Norman Walker's modern dance classes by Cecily Bressel.
For some reason this one caught my imagination. I hope Norman won't be annoyed by my playing with one of his magic moments. He is my severest critic!!! After my Dad, of blessed memory, of course.;)))
Mister Norman Walker is an icon of American Modern Dance. He appeared at and then was Director of Jacob's Pillow in Massachusetts. Norman Walker is a fabulous teacher and choreographer.
Just google Norman Walker Dancers

The trees were photographed in a very civilized city park. One photo looking up close, and the other from a distance were combined. Looked pretty good, but something was missing. The woman is a sculpture I took a photo of at a museum grounds, and the bear is a large wooden carving sitting on someones back porch.
