etsooi II

oh well, at least I took it today I suppose. Then edited using two of Humphrey Hippo's free textures (thanks HH!)

A night of very little sleep. Surprisingly, not due to the five over-excited, sugar and x-box fueled twelve year olds who were (mostly not) sleeping on the living room floor They were noisy, and who knows what time they eventually went to sleep but they were no match for Graham's snoring.

Dispatched the young visitors and had a long overdue trip to Costco. It is quite a long way from where we live so I only go about three or four times a year and do an enormous shop. I always dread it because we have to walk up quite a few steps to get to the house from my car and I hate carrying all the bulky, heavy stuff into the house when I get home. Must remember to wait til the boys are off school when I next go, got them to help with the carrying, a far better state of affairs.

The effect on this is fantastic

[Louise]

ooh a really interesting effect. Nicely done!

[Pam Knowler]

Great processing! I must try using textures. I love the effect. Is it easy to use them?

[Pat Knowles]

I reckon you handle the shopping about five times by the time you get it into the kitchen!! A very different look from you here Jan, the back looks like marble!!

[Jan Hall]

@pamknowler It is pretty easy Pam, particularly if you add them using picmonkey - you can upload your own as well as use some of their free ones

[Corrie]

Lovely processing, well presented!

[❀ Lynn]

Cool...great textures!

[Maggiemae]

This makes a different picture and a nice simple one! Triangular flapjacks, eh?

[Jan Hall]

@maggiemae in case you needed any confirmation that the world has gone mad....

very cool ETSOOI Jan - the black silhouette is a great contrast - almost shadow puppet-like!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Nice landscape processed in a fun way - modern ? abstract ?? whatever -very effective .:-D

[Katharine Hubbard]

Nice one :)

[megan]

Wow. great graphic shot!! ( i hate going to costco...but it does save. our costco is always filled with the oddest people behind the registers. they must be a specialized race.)

[Sandra]

Very neat processing; I will have to check out Humphrey Hoppo's.

[KAL]

Amazing processing! Love this!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

[Renata]

Very cool effect! Love the composition!

[inertia]

great effect.. love how it came out..

[JH]

Hadn't seen the flapjack furore. Just treated myself to a little skim of the comments on it on the Daily Fail website. That was fun.

[Breigh]

Great photo and thanks for the tip on the textures! :)

[Jan Hall]

@jewelsandbinoculars great isn't it? I fear for the future of set squares.

[Fanny Brogden]

Wonderful result...what fun !! Costco sounds as much fun as Cash and Carry and so agree about carting the stuff inside!! a nightmare!

[Jane]

Gorgeous tree Jan... and I really think I recognise the tree.... from where I see Chesterton windmill its on the right of the windmill....... will put up a shot later to see what you think... ♥
As for the world going mad... ohhhh deep sigh... I totally agree.... I did wonder at first when it was reported on the news whether its was April Fool's day....... be afraid... be very afraid!!! lol!!! Right off to make some sharp triangular flap jacks now... because I am feeling wicked and I am rebel without a cause.... lol!!!!! ♥♥

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

What a fab shot! Love this enough to Fav it...

[Ginger Sanders]

I just like the whole feel of it.

[PasadenaRose]

Coolness! That is some neat processing.
