I took these photos in a time of sever angst and depression, it was nearing dark and they didn't turn out so well, for some reason I kept clicking anyway. When I looked at them on the computer screen I was very disappointed. Then I decided to use what software I have available and see what I could do. I did all of the work on Picnik, I rather like the results. Tell me what you think.

    These are so very interesting... my favorite is the first one in green.. Sometimes what we think are disappointment art work can be beautiful to another... just proves that beauty is the eye of the beholder!

    Sparkle; thank you, you are right about that. I struggled with these but I was determined to create. I was astonished when I turned it all off and came back later. I almost didn't recognizes my own work, and I liked what I saw.

    Thank you Jessica,<3

    On my way to my favorite spot we drove by the mountains with fog laying in the valleys. It was awesome to look at. I hopped out in the street to take a few shots. Then off to the water...

    I have often found that photos that were disappointing at the time I took them, could be tweaked with editing software into some interesting results. I remember one photo in particular, totally dark, and when I lightened it up extremely, there was an image of my grandson being held by his Gramps...and the look on Dunc's face was one that was precious...

    Here is the link to that photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cathyjonesdesigns/5090016063/in/set-72157623599387653

    One thing about photography...it is always surprising! :D
