Out of the Box Image of the Week for the week ending June 15th, 2012: Nancy Bell - Guess Who's coming for dinner
Congratulations Nancy!!!
Photographed this young bear at minimum focusing distance as he came to check out my bird feeders. I had a great time playing with effects using pixel bender (oil paint), fractalius, converted to B&W, added 2 different textures, then topaz buz sim. Along the way I varied the opacities.
Although I would love to have this bear around it is not safe so I had to totally discourage him, his sibling and much bigger mom by shouting at them and allowing the dog to bark endlessly every time they came within sight. They took the hint.
The closest fire to me has been stopped after a full day of hitting it hard with water and lots of firefighters. The main fire is still mostly out of control but now several miles away. I am much relieved.
