PMAE No 158

For the Dogwood Challenge, week 6 "Vision: Alternative patterns of light and depth and rhythm to the photograph". A blending of two images accomplished in Photoshop with layers, faffing and the NIK collection.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely the bokeh

[Hazel]

Where can you buy 'faffing' ?!! (Don't give all your secrets!). Is there a flower?

[Walks @ 7]

@ziggy77 Thank you very much.

@quietpurplehaze Nope, not a flower. Faffing is only for sale in editland.:):)

[Hazel]

@joysabin

Have to buy a sat nav maybe as I have a terrible sense of direction....

[Stephanie]

Interesting image to take a side profile and make it feel rhythmical like this. Love the bokeh and the swirly whirly effect you have created in flaffing :D :D

[Domenico Dodaro]

Interessing faffing... ;-)

[Margo Sayer]

Faffing is a respectable, honorable and pleasurable way to waste time. Those who dare to scorn such activity might benefit from an intensive introduction and/or mentoring. Certification guaranteed for those who wish to master the Art of Faffing.

Incidentally, Joy, this is a rather lovely faffed foto ;-)

@quietpurplehaze

[Walks @ 7]

@quietpurplehaze Naaa, just open Photoshop, getpaint.net, picmonkey or gimp and play, play play!

[Walks @ 7]

@stephanies Thank you so kindly for the fav. I was trying to use my new app in my Sony A6000 but I wasn't doing something correctly so I went home and played on my own instead.

@domenicododaro You are so kind, my better half who is in this shot, thought that yup, she's gone again. Faffing is a wonderful term for this, I believe it was Clare Gadsby who introduced me to it.

@s4sayer Couldn't agree more, faffing, creative manipulation, strange edits are so needed in this crazy world. Thank you ever so kindly for the fav too.

[Clare Gadsby]

so cool - great faffing - and i'm glad to have introduced you to the term ;)

[Walks @ 7]

@pistache Thank you! Very grateful for the encouragement and fav.

[Jo]

Very cool editing - makes a wonderful image

[Hazel]

A shame that what I intended as light-hearted comments have emerged as or have been construed as scorn. And I like playing as much as anyone.

@s4sayer

[Debbie]

very interesting play of light and dark in this shot.

[Margo Sayer]

@quietpurplehaze
Ooops! Hazel my comment was tongue in cheek and was in no way intended otherwise. My apologies.

[Hazel]

@s4sayer

Well that's OK Margo - we were both tongue in cheek!!

[Walks @ 7]

@quietpurplehaze @s4sayer Faff ON! i might start to look at lots of things differently if I could only faff them. :-)

[Walks @ 7]

@jo38 Truly grateful for the fave, thank you kindly. How often do you get to stick your husbands head in water and get away with it? :-)

@deborah63 Thank you so very much. I am learning to save some of my less than normal shots for textures to be played with later.

[Louis A. Sousa]

Great intensity.
