Portrait

I needed inspiration today - did not want to do another flower! I got this idea and worked on it. Not sure that its exactly the way I want it but that’s not the criteria.

On one side I’m normal, on the other I'm in limbo!

Three good things:
1. I also tried with some of Picmonkey’s options particularly the “overlays’! Have a go! I’ll post another on my other album.
2. My Main Man is stuck with his leg above his heart ( Doctors orders) but finds it difficult to move let alone help me with the dishes - funny that! He got injured slipping on to an enormous block of Oamaru Stone and damaged his shin. Now it won’t heal. He likes watching the cricket, anyway!
3. I planted radish seed and John asked me 14 minutes later whether it had come up! It shouldn’t be long - soil is moist and the weather is not cold.

Very cool effect! I didn't know that you could do this in Picmonkey.

[Nick]

I like this - it's very clever and creative..

[Maggiemae]

@salza I think I used FX Studio as well for the pencil look, Sally!

Lovely capture and clever processing.

[Debs Stott]

Intriguing effect - actually works really well.

[Ashley]

Fantastic Maggiemae! And isn't the normal/limbo conundrum the way of life???

[Maggiemae]

@shesnapped - limbo to me is 'waiting to happen', Ashley! Normal - is - it has happened! Yes I suppose you are right!

[Simply Amanda]

WOnderful and creative edit!!!

[gloria jones]

Cool, creative edits...hope your hubby heal swiftly

[Dixie Goode]

Excellent. I of that you can do this it inspires me because so far I can't.

[Maggiemae]

@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie - all you have to do is have an idea in mind and then use your apps to create it! It doesn't have to be beautiful photography just a piece of work!

[katy]

@maggiemae LOL! Love it!

[kali]

brilliant

[Pam Knowler]

wow wonderful edit here!! Love it!! Fav! Hope John's leg starts to heal soon.

[Maggiemae]

@pamknowler So do I, Pam - he's on penicillin which is now making him feel sick! No Christmas tarts for him today!

[Kim Harper]

Very clever idea with a very interesting outcome. Fun one.

[bruni]

Is Picmonkey worth buying? I like your edits and like the effect you achieved.

[Paula W]

What a great effect, very well done Maggiemae.

[Maggiemae]

@bruni You get the basic app free with your ace membership, Bruni! I have upgraded - its a few dollars a month, I think.

[Irene]

Very creative and it seems to express how you feel

[Stephanie Swift]

I find this quite amazing, fav. Hope John feels better in time for Christmas.

[Rach_who]

Nicely done

[Julie Duncan]

Coolness!

[Kerri Michaels]

very cool...fav

[Sylvia du Toit]

Like this. The difference is that I think I am 100% after this year! Well done!! Fav.

[Maggiemae]

@sdutoit I hope that means 100% in health? Or maybe you are talking about your 365 project?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well done Maggie! Of course I always knew you were a piece of art! Get well wishes to John!

[Yao RL]

This is very creative! It is surely way interesting than flowers.

[Maggiemae]

@yaorenliu Thanks Yao - I'm starting to do things to flowers now - change the face of nature within the camera!

[Taffy]

This is soooo creative! What a fantastic result of your processing.

[Mona]

Great idea and processing

[Tony]

No problem with this one, it is creative and in some ways provocative. It really captured my attention.

[John]

Very creative and thought-provoking!

[Lee-Ann]

Love the creative processing you did.

[Tremerryn]

Really cool, love it!

[Ann Williams]

This is really clever.

[Maggie]

Super effective technique, Marg. Sorry to hear about J's mishap, hope he recovers soon; penicillen can make some people very nauseous.

[Pat Knowles]

I must return to comment on this! I am watching TV & catching up with comments....this one needs my full attention!!

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Neat very creative

[Kerry McCarthy]

Very creative and neat effect. Looks like it must be fun to play around with.

[Gillian]

Very creative processing. A great idea for normality vs limbo.

[Mr. Spock]

Great processing, fav!

[Osia Strasner]

I love what you did here....FAV! You look like a work in progress (aren't we all!) as you are either changing from a real life person into a drawing, or the other way around!
