Fountain on a Rainy Day

A dreary rainy Friday, no time for photos except for my walk home. Then spent way too much time tonight on photos that didn't really warrant the time. This is the first bit...the fountain on the way home, upper left just a bit of cleaning up, then starting with original and processing in Color Efex, repeating with original next in Topaz adjust, and last with SnapArt.

I like the processing a lot.

[April]

This is fascinating to see the different effects you can create.

[Loopy-Lou]

Fabulous shot, wonderful collage showing different effects Love playing around with shots but it can be so time consuming ,,,,

[Osia Strasner]

Wonderful effects and capture.

[Rachel]

Very nice. I think I like the one on the bottom left the best.

[Annie D]

I like seeing the different treatments - and I know just what you mean by too much time on ones not warranted

[Dione Giorgio]

Very artistic and creative. Amazing processing.

[Margaret Obey]

I love the processing

[Francoise]

It's almost like a trip through time, starting with reality and ending somewhere else.

[Peter Dulis]

If you didn't tell us what it was - they look like abstracts - nice

[Babs]

Excellent processing and very arty. I love it.

[Nancy]

Love this..very artsy..fav!

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic collage. Thank you for letting us know what went into the processing.

[Kerri]

[Kristen]

I like that you show your steps, the last one looks like a painting

[Michael Elliott]

Good to try different things.

[megan]

Love the way you did this!

[carol white]

Great collage,super processing:-)

[Simply Amanda]

Oh wow, what a neat fun effect!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

The progression to the final image is quite interesting to see. Each pic has its own qualities tho. The string of lights made great pearl bokeh.

[Richard Hickey]

Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[virtualbrownie]

Very artistically done

[Call me Joe]

Coolness :)

[Pam Knowler]

Great collage showing some really interesting processing!!

[Diane]

Thanks for sharing all the different processing effects, I haven't heard of any of them before, they are all quite different outcomes..

[Ann H. LeFevre]

No matter which way you process it, it ends up looking kind of abstract. Interesting!!

[Gena Pegg]

A very beautiful collage showing the different options for processing and how it changes the feel of the image. Nicely done. Love them.

[Khawbecker]

Great comparison of the different processing techniques on both the lighting and water. Love the captured water movement.

[Islandgirl]

Nice to try something different............I've spent time on pics that I shouldn't have.....very frustrating!
This collage works well to show the different ways of processing.

[Kathie]

So interesting seeing the differences in processing. Thanks for the explanations, too

[Kathleen Hickey]

I'm faving this first because I like it and second because of your explanations. Great illustration of various special effects.

[Darlene]

I love your collage and what a great way to show all you did to this photo. Would be great to do this even for ourselves so we can see a photo various ways. I love the bottom left one as it looks like a painting. So well done as usual, Taffy. Thank you for sharing with us. FAV

[Taffy]

@dianeburns Thanks Diane! These are all 'plug-ins' that I use with Aperture. On days I don't think my photo is interesting enough to stand alone, I find that it's fun to experiment with different processing choices.

[Amrita]

Wonderful, and so wonderful that you share...

[Vicki Dixon]

great work!
