No disrespect meant.

Almost ready to dive in:


Needed cropping or something....

Steps into the wet sand:


I also liked this one...


I got inspired by Bobbie's recent warm image. Here. Tried to steal the typewriter, but it shattered. I blame Bill Gates (rich monopolist).

I created an "oriental rug."


Another refresh snapshot - an accident and noticed similarities to snapshot below.



Refresh clairvoyant snapshot.

Returned to a wonderful dark image that allows colors to flow.

"eight.and.one.half.reasons.why"

Another image created from Bobbie's hand.keet.fox vision. Seeking a bit of June splendor as the year winds down...up north and up east. Blue state right now.

Early June leaves are glorious here. The color, their vitality. Overwhelmed of course to most by the burst of flowers.

Lately I have been focusing on the subtle beauty of evergreens.

This image belongs to Bobbie - who most graciously allowed me to borrow it - the intent here is to continue the process discussion.

With manipulation there is the ability to push the envelope and create colors that can soothe or jolt. I prefer soothing the palette in many instances because it camouflages the manipulation and keeps the focus more on the created image rather than on the process.

I seek to submerge the process - make it transparent. Here is the original image - my changing the tone makes it less magical, more somber.

I prefer Bobbie's vision, but wanted to show the example...

Later I played a bit with Bobbie's hand.keet.fox.tree and quite by "accident" I defoliated the landscape. Alas. much time in the blender, but still not a Daiquiri.

Have a great day.
