LOL.  I´m glad you liked. 😄 Maybe i should work on it as well and maybe one day it will find its way into my gallery even. 😉

Oooh ooooh!!! I guess this means....:YOOOOOOU`RE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! Nah nah nah nah!!!!! La la la...you get to do the next DITI...la la la......Go on folks....why don´t you give her a hard time as well? Huh huh? Or do you deliberatly save all the taunting for the polar-boy? Sniff...sniff.. LOL. :tt2:

LOL Polar-boy!

Ooh ...that's right!I wasn't even thinking about that.Ooops! :^/

I didn't really do too much to it...The font took the longest amount of time,actually.

I used selective coloring,multiply,a drop of sharpening, and the photofilter....plus cropping,of course.But that's it.

Glad ya like it ,swedie.It would be hard to mess it up,to be honest.It's a great shot.I look forward to seeing it one day in your gallery...with your own special 'touch',of course.

Ahh Mondays are made so much better with diti. Well  worth waiting for Andreas. Theres lots of possibilities with this shot, and some great entries so far...each one makes you go oooOOOooo.

I thought I'd drop the boat and concentrate on the hills and Islands....not like me but there you go.

I wonder if theres a better way of deciding who chooses the picture rather than the first to upload? Perhaps the person uploading the original could choose their favorite from all the entries if possible ?  Does anyone have any other thoughts on this?  That Marlene were you sitting waiting with photoshop open and ready? You entry is a cracking postcard like image. So its your turn Marlene to be hounded all week!!!! Oldworld that sky is so cool, I'll have to have a bash at that......any tips?

Margana posted Mon, 14 August 2006 at 4:56 PM

Ooh Anthony,I really like that.It reminds me of a lithograph I had many years ago.

Thank you.And LOL at me having photoshop open and ready....Actually I did,because I was working on a lousy pic. But this one was sooo much better and more interesting I dropped mine like a hot potato,lol.

Actually I am working on another version of this,because the one I posted didn't take me long enough,lol.I like to torture myself for a while,or it just doesn't feel right. ;^P

And ps...thank goodness I have all week.I don't have a clue what to use!

Hi all,

Here is my contribution. I took the original, played with the levels to make it nice and dark, created the navigation lights, created the rain, then desaturated all but the navigation lights layers. Hope you like it.

Nice image to work from Andreas, and some great entries. It really made it tough for me to think of what to do with it. So a simple posterization and colorization with other minor tweaks is all I did.

I love the different color tones we are seeing with this.The shot lends itself beautifully to a monochrome palette.

Love that color,Kort.I also love that color on Kim's and Lakefaerie's (Jennifer,was it?)...plus, Tunde's moon and all those that added bird's too.

This probably looks the same as my first post,but I added the watercolor filter to this,and now I like it  better.

LMAO@Kim!!!! How you feelin´ today? Had too many magic carrots? Oooh...that reminds me of a comic strip i once read. It was two snowmen standing on a carrot-field and one of them pulled up a carrot and said to the other snowman: "See? I told you they were growing snowmen here". LOL. :biggrin: Sigh....i´m probably the only one who thought that was funny......another funny strip was from MAD, illustrating the downside of having a catapult-chair in a helicopter/chopper. LOL.
