Hope you all can come up with some good additions, deletions, layers, filters or whatever you can possibly think of to alter this image from down on the farm:-)

Bill:)

Thanks Bill :-)

Wow...this is a challenge! I'm still working in only half of a photo editor... I'll have to think hard on this one!

LOL !  that is a good one. Just take care not to drive over the edge :-)))

mbz2662 and helanker, my reaction is these are great! Ever since I took the basic photo, I've been trying to figure out what to do with it:-)))

LOL @ don't drive over the edge.

Bill:)

OOOOOOOOOOOO!  Look at the 2D work! Amazing stuff. I have got to figure out how to do something with my default editor....

Exactly what it is all about. I have learned so much from fiddling in these various threads...

I like the fact that you got shadows below all the clippings! I'll have to try this...

Thanks it was difficult to make the shadows staggered, or what you call it in english, where they make shade  2 layers down, Not sure i got it correct. ?

Wow - that is amazing!

Helanker...what a great painting with cool colors.

A very attractive presentation and one I can easily see hanging in our state water or agricultural buildings.

Tunde...the five panels approach is extremely handsome and eye-catching. And the frame gives it such a professional look!

You all are wowing me...I knew you would all come up with outstanding ideas.

OH! Yes Tunde, I love that one.

Bill. Without a good picture to start with we would be in "trouble" to do something with it.

seeya  Tunde

Mbz, thanks for the case of vertigo now LOL

Helanker, like what you've done with your second one, really gives it a three dimentional look

And Tunde, great illustrative work on yours.

I'm doing a different take on mine, far too often we see the earth movers just waiting to tear up those fields here to put in new subdivisions. They call it "progress" ....

Good job. Sure you filled the empty land. Became a very busy picture.

seeya  T

Very true Yvonne. BTW, sorry I missed your DITI week here...that week just disappeared on me.

And now, oh no, the dreaded land developers. The lands of Kansas first went under the horse drawn plow in the 1850s, then the steamers almost plowed every bit of original prairie grass under in the 1920s, the result of which was the dust bowl years in the 1930s. Things improved in the 40s and 50s...but now, 50-60 years later, here come the yellow earth movers. Progress???

Keep 'em coming...

Wow~ It is great to see all the different things you have come up with for one photo!

OH Now it looks more alive with the big machines. Very good.

Helle

It looks very beautidul,,, both of them :-)

Me too, like 'em both Melinda:)  Particularly interesting that you've been able to give the clouds a textured feel/appearance.

UA

Brrr.!!  Looks wet and cold and spooky alright :-) Super, what you have done here.

that's good!
Now we need Santa flying across the moon.. hhehe.

I'll call this, "Hot Lava at Dusk" ...down on the farm:-)))

If anyone hasn't seen Errol's (sharky_) gallery lately, he's got a lot of super pictures of hot lava flowing off the volcano in Hawaii. Here's his link: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=297434

Errol was happy to let me borrow a couple of his outstanding lava flow pictures for photo manipulation purposes. So here we have one result.

Who would have ever thought lava would just start poping through the ground in Kansas???

OH MY!!   it looks so real.  Excellent indeed.

My title for this is, "Hey, Dad, Look at the Mess Out Back" :-)))

WOW ! It looks so fantastic. SO hot and yet so soft too. Super.

Helle

:)

Looks good Kim. I'm always impressed when anybody gets the shadows right...:)

Excellen shadow work and i guess there is a circus in the area :-) I see the bird :)

Wow! You guys have been busy! :biggrin:

Thanks for the comments on my rainy evening, but I think bmac62's first version with the lava beats me hands down! Well done!

UA

Good ones..  The Lava is great!
The second one reminds me of that old thriller movie "The Blob"... 

Mine is to prove Kansas does have some hills... and the locals just don't know how to build a house or a barn on a hill...or Toto, maybe we're not in Kansas anymore!

Way to go Kim and Tom!

...what'sthe guy going to fix with the box wrench? Maybe he's going to turn off Errol's lava flow:-)

...and Tom, Must be a magma chamber causing the earth's crust to bulge like you found it:). I've never been the same since visiting Mount St. Helens Volcanic National Monument. Oh, and the gull of course adds just the right touch. What's an outdoor picture without a bird?

Excellent Outer Limit, Kim :-))) It Looks great.

LOL Tom  a fun idea and i like the gull.

What ever that guy was doing with the wrench, it may have stopped the lava but now there is another problem going on by Toms picture.  ;)  Tax dollars at work!  ;D  LOL!

kbrog, looks to me like a preacher trying to preach that wrench guy out of fire and brimstone.  I think the guy was only working on a tractor and didn't have a grease pit.   Throw some cash in the briefcase and maybe the preacher will move on.

Then again, maybe a small twister caught the guy..so there he is, eulogy and all.  Not having been to Kansas, I don't know what sort of stuff goes on there and can only guess.

Quite big tread many talent under one "roof" .  Good stuff guys and girls.

Added snow, converted it to a puzzle and changed the background color.

GhostBear1890, Wow, this is great. I love the results. It is remarkable how many things can be done...and I'm sure we've just started to scratch the surface:-)  What software do you use?

Today, mbz2662 began a new DITI for us. If you haven't seen her picture, please check this too: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2789694

The snow in your redo of my photo is very fitting...it is supposed to be single digit temperature-wise her tonight.

I took it into a web based editor....Picnik and did everything.

I'll have to take a look at Picnik. Many thanks for the feedback:)

HEHE Ghostbear. That is a great one :-)
