Preview the photos I had chosen for the new week. These are the old ditch on the Bara pumps iirigazione , emissary of Lake Massaciuccoli, the Apuan Alps in the background, behind the hills of Massarosa. Photo taken from the point where the new pumps are located.

Ugly thing's yet terrific looking when captured

The fun will commence! Great photo!

Grazie , Lucinda ! Il problema era la connessione ( dopo i temporali della notte singhiozza un pò !

Thanks, Dawn! The problem was the connection (after the temporal of the night sobbing a little!

Lets do it to it!!

Okay ... I've got it saved, and will begin working on a DITI!  Thank you, Mario!  :)

Thank you, Tara! I'm curious to see a photo of me in a different interpretation!

I put a photo on purpose that I've never tried (only the conversion from raw. Always shooting only in RAW). good evening

Even monster's argue

Well, I see that these friendly monsters have family problems. Delicious scene! Good job, BIPOLARTWO !

Uh oh, family squabble.  Their was a time (20 odd years ago) when the words "I'm taking the kids and leaving" had a nice sound.  Granted it wasn't forever, just for a few peaceful hours.   Fun image!

Cool Tara!  They look like shrimp!  Beautiful night shot!

looks great all, indeed reminds me on scrimps ...

now my first try... hope you like this a bit

Cool and psychedelic Feliciti. Great atmosphere.  It looks like fog is coming down from the mountains.

thanks :) @ myrrhluz

the ark is waiting behind the mountains ;) really cute with all animals @Bipolartwo

wonderful mood with this nightshot from auntietk**

Mario, I love the image you gave us. From your gallery, I can see how well you do broad sweeping shots with lots of detail inside the shots. These pumps look like the trunks of some primal beasts. Thanks for such a fine image to work with!

Bipolartwo---what wonderful fantasies. I find photomanipulation very difficult. (Had to do it years ago & hated it!) You do it with total ease & fun. Your little family break-up is made of great little beasts, and your "Ark" piece has some wonderful cartoon creatures...love the sheep! Nice transformation of a serious photo. 

Tara, given your experience with quilting & clothes-making, your first variation doesn't surprise me as it looks like a huge serving plate, or like the ceiling of a grand opera hall (like one of Lucinda's variations in the last DITI). Wonderful play on Mario's linear theme. And the night scene is very fine & your hues work for me totally. That is, it really looks like a night scene. You always seem to do at least one realistic image in these threads. Fine job.

And Feliciti, you've turned the big pipes into the limbs of some gigantic primordial lobster, lol: wonderful color "trim" (almost neon), and you smoothed-out the sky & water, and brought-out the grasses. Another fine transformation.

Mine is below. I was going for an "etching," but this came out instead. (Maybe an 'old photo'?) I'll see if I can do more later...

A real pleasure. Be well, all. Mark

ps---bipolartwo, just saw your last variation: Very moody and with real clarity. Fine work with the light & flares (or whatever they are). Like Tara's night scene, only with lights. Very nice.

ok.. lol about lobster @Mark you think right !! ..my first version of the picture came very close to your :) in b/w tones, but with the neon lines on the pipes ...then I have switched to natural color...

wonderful next version like the flares too !!@Bipolartwo

cheers

Susanne

I love what i call the knitting pattern effect wherebye you dont know what the mixed coloured wool pattern will be at the end.

Now i am presented with a terrific image that look's as though it has been been carved from a block of solid pewter.

So here goes with the last for today---Bed time

Wow! what wonderful additions.  I'm off to art class but wanted to give a quick 'Wow' before I go.  Excellent images all!

I saw the shrimps too, Lu!  LOl!

Excellent work, everybody!  I love the variety.  Outstanding stuff!

Good day to you all! I see a glittering start of the week and a beautiful series of works with fantastic solutions:

Bipolartwo
In addition to being the first truly has the heart, technique and creativity in the various interpretations, from images of type irony and fun to vary more complex, of great interest and technical depth.

Auntiek
Very rich and beautiful fantasy of Tara the first and a second more traditional but unique charm, a night of great atmosphere.

Feliciti

Susanne has given a 'most futuristic interpretation, almost a changing landscape fluorescent lighting. Fascinating.

Anahata.c
Mark gave a more classic tones using the B & W with pretty nice results.
Thanks to Mark for his beautiful words. A known friend in this forum.

dashboard_jehovah
B & W where a version has added elements to the image to achieve his goal. Picture perfectly successful, with a remarkable softness of the tones that give a fascinating picture.

I would add that, my command of the language is pretty poor and I hope that the translation is understandable, congratulations to everyone for the commitment and skill !!!!!

Congratulations for the beautiful pictures posted! Ache it truly excellent. I am glad that my photo inspired you to have these beautiful works. Besides, I had never seen a picture of me drawn by others and I confess that I like.

Mario

now my second try... a bit of painting or so :)

have a nice time @all

Susanne

I think that the Embossed look is fantastic---Very Nice Work

Magnifico lavoro , Susanne , molto creativo e interessante  !

Magnificent job, Susanne, very creative and interesting!

Beautiful work, Lucinda! From the simplest to the last wild imagination. passing through the central one that excites me, for the figure created by the pumps: it seems a giant octopus that controls the area, just fantastic!

Have a good trip and thanks for these wonderful fantasies.

Wow!  Fantastic work!  :)

Complimenti, pauljs75 !

mi piace molto questa interpretazione, molto belli i colori e l'atmosfera creata.

Congratulations, pauljs75!
