Theme: Sunflower

[denise ippolito]

I used DAP and then a radial blur -I liked the effect and Sunflowers remind me of summer

I almost forgot. I am heading off to Maine in the early morning and will be gone for about a week!! Will bring my laptop but am not sure if I will have a connection. I also don't know how much time I will have!! HOPE TO AT LEAST SEE ALL YOUR WONDERFUL SUMMER IMAGES!!

looks like a water whirlpool....interesting!!
The blur/blend is very nicely done Denise

Thankyou Dave.

It kinda looks cool centered, but maybe try off centering? I am too much of a twit I guess for not being keen on centering. It does look great though with the blur. These are one of my fave flowers. there is a spot about 30 minutes away where they always sell fresh cut sf for AUD5.00 per bunch. Gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing Denise.

Akos, Thanks for your thoughts-sorry:o

[Julie Kenward]

Have a great time, Denise. I'll try to keep an eye out here for you.

This is really cool - what is DAP? Am I missing something? New plug in???

[denise ippolito]

Julie, DAP is a new program that re-creates an artist brush style depending on the artist you choose. They offer a free trial and the software is inexpensive

I hope to have a good trip-they say the weather is lousy there now. I appreciate you keeping an eye out in here!!:)

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Don't be sorry, it's your vision, I still need to learn to think creatively as you well know.



They say the weather is lousy there now. :)

When you arrive, so will the sunshine. ;)
