Photoscapes Unleashed ~ Ocean Swirl

-


Before ~ This was taken at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. The sunsets here can be spectacular and I happened to catch one amazing scene. I've always loved this photo and wondered what if anything I could do to enhance it or change the feel. The result is below.




After ~ While using my software with oil paint mode, swirl, punch, pinch, highlight and wind modes, I was able to get an ocean wave/swirl effect.

Enjoy!

The second picture looks very different from the first. I does look like an oil painting. The sunsets are spectacular in both pictures. Great job!

It's so beautiful and then when enhanced becomes an entirely different form of amazing. Every time I see your pictures I become homesick.

Thank you Icy, it's fun to create this way.

rainfield, I wish I were because I would be very rich now :D

Autumn Belle, that's what is so cool about the photo editing is that you can create a completely new photo.

Ratty, I know when it became a wave I stopped editing. It was perfect.

Thank you so much Cher for your kind words.

MountainWoman, aw, I'll have much more of SF over the weeks to come.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
