    Default Theme - Cartoon

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Garry Larson was/is one of my favourite cartoonists...wonder what caption he'd give this one.... My daughter took this photo of me, on the Tarcoles River in Costa Rica, we dared each other to touch the tail of this 17 foot Croc, of course dad went first, "believe me I kept my eye on him". We were both successful and had all our fingers, at the end.
    Converted the photo in CS4 using poster edges
    Adjusted Brightness and Contrast, 10/30 respectively
    then used Cut-out filter to taste....

    Looking forward to to all your entries...

    Paul, Great way to get us started! I love the use of the caption-I may try that for one of mine.(maybe try getting it off the edge a bit) Looks very dangerous and I wouldn't put my hand anywhere near it. Nice use of the cut-out filter! Wish the shadow wasn't going across it-but for a cartoon image it's not so bothersome. Might still try to tone down that area a bit. Nicely done.

    Paul, Great inspiration! I like the cartoon look you achieved. I guess that is what Denise is calling the "cut out filter". I have a lot to learn.

    Patti "Cutout" is found by clicking Artistic, one of the filters, in CS4..play with it, try all the sliders, one at a time, see what they do....

    or check out

    nice effect Paul.....you could still up the saturation a bit and be fine IMO.
    Thanks for the little narrative

    Thanks for getting us started this week, Paul! I don't know if I would have taken that dare. Glad it was successful for you.

    Great effect, Paul. I like the way you presented. A bit more contrast and saturation would enhance this further IMO.
