Wow this one really pops out, love it!

Thanks, Bob! I am starting to get the hang of Photoshop. Not much to do on this one so maybe I am also getting to be a better photographer!

This is a beauty Joan!
jbjoani2 jbjoani2 commented on November 20, 2010
Thank you, Brenda! Yes, I am very pleased... like you, I am going through my summer pictures!
bleij50 bleij50 commented on November 21, 2010
I took so many summer pictures and could not possibly use them all here, so I'm pleased that I get to enjoy some life and colore through the cold and ugly seasons and hope that I have some thinigs worth sharing here. My goal is to publish 3 per week. Hopefully I have enough! Please post some too!
jbjoani2 jbjoani2 commented on November 22, 2010
Oh, I have some already to post! It will be fun!

Thank you, Anne. I am getting better. One of these days, maybe I can figure out how to do fantasies!

Not even close to those droplet pictures you did, Sinh! Everyone go see them! Thank you, Sinh!

Wow, this really pops! The edge treatment is perfect. Stunning, Joan!

Thank you, Pat! I am getting the hang of some techniques!
PatriciaStrand PatriciaStrand commented on November 21, 2010
Are you a photoshop user? It scares me -- so complicated, so I don't use it (nor can I afford to buy it).
jbjoani2 jbjoani2 commented on November 22, 2010
Yes, I use photoshop! You don't use it ... wow! You are a great photographer! Your colors pop on their own! I wish!
PatriciaStrand PatriciaStrand commented on November 22, 2010
There are various free programs out there that can do what Photoshop offers, but not as well. For my decorative pieces, I'll use one, but it probably takes me three times as long as if I knew Photoshop. The colors in my straight photographs are courtesy of the fine setting on my camera and slight contrast-adjusting afterwards.

Many Thanks! I just love these, I saw a very tiny area of these, silly me I thought they were some kind of Daisy. The lady said she did not plant them, the birds dropped them. Cheers, Carol
jbjoani2 jbjoani2 commented on January 13, 2011
Thank you, I really don't know what kind of flower they are but they are really unusual.
pointlobosgirl pointlobosgirl commented on January 13, 2011

Love this one so cheery and fresh.
jbjoani2 jbjoani2 commented on May 01, 2011
Thank you, Gail! I am so bad at the names of the flowers. I let the other artists tell me what kind they are. I just like the shapes!
