Thanks to all. The processing was rather simple. I sharpened the original picture (which had white sneakers!) taken of my feet, my shadow and the gravel on the ground. Then I played my game "What will this effect do to this picture?" I hadn't really planned on posting this shot at all. I'd already completed another one where I merged two shadows together- but when I put the neon effect on this shot- the picture went POW! and that sort of settled it. The neon effect automatically comes up in red, but after checking all the other colors out, it was apparent that green worked the best, so voila! There is the story of how this shot came to be. (FYI- the darker green stipes are shadows in the original. The partially cut off shadow is a tree, and the other two are my legs.)
@cimes1 Thanks Carole- I had actually set out to post something very different, but you never know what is going to strike your fancy when you start applying those special effects in Picnik!
@woot Thanks Davide- I didn't set out to end up with a shot like this, but I really liked it. @alia_801 Thanks Alia- it's all the same stone, but it just looks different with the shadow on it.
