Putting a little light on the subject

An older photo I took in January. Yesterday I decided to do some experimenting with processing, which I rarely do. My favorite wildly processed shot was from a year ago: http://365project.org/cimes1/365/2011-04-22

I am overwhelmed by all your photos. Check out my recent collection of favs:

@lizzy_lu123 @mgozzard Thank you for your comments. Since you mentioned the painting look, I decided to add a frame! Thanks!

[karenann]

Well ... what a wonderful job you did, Carole. Processing can be fun altho I rarely do it either. I love your photo done this way ... adds alot of beautiful color and interest.

[Carole Imes]

@karenann Thank you, Karenann. I'm more of a realist when it comes to taking photos, but once in a while it's fun to add some wild effects ;-)

[Ramesh Chand]

yes.....nice light shot...

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I love your processing on this. I like to play with processing, too, sometimes. Very cool shot.

[Carole Imes]

[Debbi M]

Gives is a neat look. I am learning processing, but slowly!! This is very different and pretty.

[Carole Imes]

@debbim Thanks, Debbi. Your photos are so outstanding you don't need any processing except for fun ;-)

[Carole Imes]

[Ann Stenson]

Liking this.....It has a touch of Abstract.....which i love! : )

[Allison Williams]

It looks like you were having fun scribbling with crayons. Fun shot!

[patricia janik]

Great choice of colors! Love it!

[Dixie Goode]

I love the summery colors and yet the coolness of the blue, like a beautiful day before the heat takes over

[Catherine W.]

This does look cool Carole! How did you process this? Did it have a name or did you just change several different things? Saw your "egg" pic from before... Funny! Thanks for posting favs! I really appreciate you!

[bkb in the city]

nice editing

[Angus]

Amazing!!

[Livia]

The colors are popping! Very cool processing!

[Carole Imes]

@wannabe Catherine, thank you for your sweet comments as always. Quite honestly I don't remember exactly how I processed this....LOL. I think I pressed the HDR button and added some boost effects in Picmonkey. I just wanted to do something to enhance an otherwise boring shot.

[Carole Imes]

@grannysue @netkonnexion @claireuk @annbo @allie912 @bkbinthecity @ausgussy @myautofocuslife @patjanik @pandorasecho Thank you all for your interesting comments. Allison, you are spot on! And Dixie, I like how you described your thoughts about what you saw. I always enjoy doing when viewing art....which this is not really :-)

[Carole Imes]

@patjanik Thanks so much for the fav....most appreciated, Patti!

[Anne ❀]
