Mourning Dove Watercolor

The day started out rainy and wet and I wasn't really feeling all that great. But by late afternoon the sun had come out and I seemed to feel better. I took a quick shot of this Mourning Dove trying to blend in with her surroundings but it wasn't as sharp as I wanted it to be. Processing to the rescue!!

I'm off to bed early and quite excited as tomorrow I will be assisting at a photography class for kids with cancer. I won't be able to show my in-class experience but I will be able to take pictures of the building where our classes will be. So I'll be back tomorrow. Now off to bed for me!

Very creative Ann........love how the water color process highlights the textures.

[Nicole Campbell]

It looks exactly like a water colour, well done

[Maggiemae]

I like this choice of painting app! It really suits the dove and the scene around! fav

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[mzbull]

Nice processing. I have some mourning dove photos from today but they all look too dull. Might be fun to play with processing.

[Colleen]

Great processing!

[Taffy]

Totally fun processing!

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Fun processing indeed. The blue square behind his head was a bit distracting for me, makes him look like he has a blue hat on or something. I absolutely love the funky textures and shapes that came with your processing, though!

[Sandi]

Really neat. Good luck with your class, sounds very meaningful and enriching. How cool you're doing that!

[alia_801]

Interesting result of your processing :) Have fun with the photo class tomorrow- that sounds like a great activity to be involved with.

[Joyce]

I really like the processing on this Ann. Great shot. Fav

[Sally Ings]

Lovely effect. A cool way to 'save' a picture that hasn't panned out as planned!

[Carole Imes]

Fabulous processing to create a lovely watercolor feel. FAV!

[Dione Giorgio]

Very nice processing. Good luck with your class.

[Leana Niemand]

[Denise (lyndemc)]

He does blend in well with his surroundings. And how true; processing to the rescue can be a lifesaver.

[Sheralee S]

I hope you enjoy the class, how nice of you to do that. I love your processing, it's resulted in some great tones.

[Hazel]

Lovely tones and this could make a photo for a challenging jigsaw! (Remember my dad making us one as kids with a fretsaw.)

[Francoise]

he better change up his lovely red feet if he wants to blend in! enjoy your class.

[Laur]

Who r u??????? Phenomenal!!!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@creativeaddict Thank you Laur! My- it's really all in the application. I did nothing fancy here!

[Laur]

But, u tweaked it just right. I know how that is, cuz I do that all the time with reg pics and people think so great cuz of apps used. It still takes some artistry. May I ask apps used?

[Pam]

Love how you processed this!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@creativeaddict It was an effect in my Smart Photo Editor called Watercolor something or other. There are so many of them I lose track of the names!

@pammerritt Thanks Pam!

[Diane]

Great processing! Love the pink feet.
