Description

Okay, one more time with this image. I had a request to make it even smoother and so I went with a "Chalk Smudge", and I don't think I can do even one more time. Three is enough. Unique in the fact that they don't come out of the camera this way. This is Digital Art which is a composite image of a couple of photographs blended with a background and then blended again into the final product. This "Chalk Smudge" version is much smoother than the Watercolor imager. I have over 48 hours in the creation of this image. And the price is much, much lower than an original watercolor or oil painting. I'm not an artist per se, but I can create images in Photoshop that are greater than the sum of their parts. A good three quarters of the "Art" you see on the web and in online galleries has had some amount of alteration done after the image came out of the camera. I know that even the "Pros" have touch up work done on images before they are presented for sale. I've spent more that 15 years learning Photoshop and it is not an easy 'tool' to learn. And I have more fun now in Photoshop than I ever did in just out clicking the shutter. But that's still where it really starts anyway, in capturing a good image, in camera' in the first place and then seeing just how much better I can make it in post-processing. Some will like it and some will hate it, but it's going to be seen more and more as time goes by.
