Merry Peaceful Christmas
Digitaly manipulated...everything done the could be done to it, I suppose...quite a few hours of work. Along the way, I had inadvertantly resized the pixalation size, darnit, so don't look too hard.

Santa's Gift To The Missus
Merry Christmas! Digital manipulated photograph with Jasq Paint Pro Shop. Cloned out background except for the fence...added colored pencil effect of 30%, highlightened Santa. Taken with a 110 camera probably 20 years ago one lucky Christmas Eve night. Had to surrender the negatives to Santa. He hadn't anticipated today's technology. Santa lives!

Christmas Bouquet
What is this missing? I love the reflection in the window, the lighting, the shadows...but yet, there is something missing...maybe cropping? What do you folks out there think? Any suggestions, conservative or wierd, are welcome and will be appreciated!

Downtown in the snow
This original photo was a very black thumbnail, with no real image, but by applying contrast and lightening adjustments, I was able to bring up the image. I adjusted the color and, since the right side is so lacking in some sort of foreground images that would frame the focal image, I used a darkening brush around the perimeter (excepting the white branches), which I feel, helps to add that little touch of balance needed on the right side. The building is cropped off center purposefully, since the black/white branches and line of snow make such a strong statement in themselves.
