Experimentation with Color, Texture, and Movement
The Reds Are Popping Through
The Reds Are Popping Through
The lake at Watoga State Park in West Virginia.
Here is the same picture, but this time I experimented using the “twirl effect” in PSE9 as well as a texture. I wanted to do a mouse-over, but I tried and tried to no avail. I cannot figure it out to save my soul. I went online and read multiple entries and even tried Kim Klassen’s tutorial, but still had no luck. So here you have it.
I think the experiment turned out a bit bizarre but really cool.
Another West VA Bridge...see that wee bit of red popping out around the corner?

The red looks great and I think your experiment turned out too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the leaves are changing colors in your neck of the woods. Your experiment reminds me a little of a Van Gough painting.
ReplyDeleteI often wonder about those mouse overs like Trica does at Bluff Area Daily. I also know better than to even think of trying to learn how. Good luck with your attempts. And I really like that top photo. The next one though reminds me of my youth in the 60's and that is best left untold and forgotten.
ReplyDeleteGenie, Beautiful Fall photo, and the "swirling" effect is really cool. Fun to try things--you never know what you will get. Hope your week is off to a good start. Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteI love the first one, so beautiful autumn colors. Those red ones really pomps up.
ReplyDeleteGorgous colours in that first photo and your experiment resulted in some interesting textures and lines!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool edit but I prefer the original one because it's calm and simply beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThe twirl effect is just superb!
ReplyDeleteDON’T LET THAT SCARLET GO TO YOUR HEAD
Don’t let that scarlet go to your head!
Be very glad you haven’t been bled!
Give thanks for the color dear to your heart:
Carmine and cherry and wine— a good start!

Beautiful ruby!
ReplyDeleteMy Ruby Tuesday, please come and see. Thanks and have a nice day!
Love that top photo! and your second one sort of reminds me of an old painting . . .
ReplyDeleteLove these. Except for the second one, these remind me of old postcards.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots, I just love the first one!
ReplyDeleteI love the first picture on the lake! I hope the storm we are going to get tonight and tomorrow doesn't blow all the leaves off because I so love all the fall colors. I was just saying the other day that Fall is like a second Spring! Who knew some famous person had already made that their quote! lol
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Week!

Tht first and third photos look like old postcards. Cool. The twirl effect is interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the twirl is really cool! Unfortunately I only have CS2, and have not mastered it, only photomerge.
ReplyDeleteFall is one of my favorite season. Love the colors!
The first shot is gorgeous. The twirl is interesting. I wonder what happens when you continue twirling. Can't stop imagining.
ReplyDeleteAll three are nice, but the first and last are awesome!
ReplyDeletelovely watery views and the twirl effect is superb.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun twirl effect
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, love the first one with the waterplants dominating the foreground.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures, I love those landscapes with spectacular fall colors with frames. Pure delight the spiral effect.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is gorgeous! I'd like to have it on my wall...
ReplyDeleteYour swirl experiment is so cool! Love it. Laura Cottage and Broome
