Pink Sun

Again….another interesting sunset. This time the sun looks almost pink as it sets on the water with a few clouds moving thru it. I made no adjustments to this photo in photoshop. I only cropped it portrait to give it a more appealing look.

Winter White

No, it hasn’t snowed yet where I live! But this is a photo of a big holly tree near our home. The snowstorm did its work a couple years ago. This photo looks best when enlarged to an 8×10 or larger size. In any case, this reminds me of a quintessential [...]

Red Barn

Here’s a “photoshopped” picture for our viewing pleasure. This red barn was changed with the “color pencil” feature in Photoshop. The color pencil makes it look much more like a drawing than a photo, especially in the vertical lines that make up the siding on the barn walls.
