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))) ~*~maggie~*~ Edit: Ooops sorry! Didn't realize I wasn't supposed to quote the whole lyrics... !! I am so sorry and I've edited and reposted it. :-))) Thank you for your patience on this and for being so kind in your message to me Cyn! (((Hugs)))
