Description
This is a picture I took in a field near my home. :-)
I've played a bit with the first version in PaintShop Pro 9.0 ...and that is my personal favorite. I increased the contrast just a bit then put a pastel painted effect over it using Virtual Painter.
I've also put the original on here too for those who don't like the special effects. :-) It just reminded me of this song that I heard by the Beatles and I've been humming it the whole time I worked on it. hehehe
I hope you enjoy and are having a wonderful holiday weekend. :-)
(((hugs to all)))
