This image is of a gull on a piling in Tarpon Springs. Well, the original was, but as some of you old timers know ... originals are not my thing! :2eyes2:

It was processed in Photoshop and other post processing aplications, such as, Topaz Lens Effects and Photoshop 3-D to give the minor alterations you see before you. I added the star on the tree and in the "sky" as well as the lights on the tree. While not my Christmas card, this was the opening image in our annual Christmas letter.

Sorry for the absense, but hope to get back here someday and enjoy the fun. However, until then ...

May you all have a safe holiday and a very Merry Christmas!

Wow, I bet that gull never felt a thing as you exploded it into a burst of light! Amazing! And a Merry, merry Christmas to you!

Thanks all, I can assure you that I was as surprised as you as this one developed. But when I saw what I had in the raw image of the 3D, I knew it was a Christmas image and what it would look like. It was not my card this year, but was the image on top of the Christmas letter. The card was the Bounty tribute that I posted here a while back.

But thanks again for your comments. Appreciate it. Hope to be back soon to join the fun.

Make A Great Day

and have a safe and happy holiday season.
