My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

This is rather amazing; I have a foto of a mosaic fountain from my trip last weekend. It looks very much like this. So, I have to tell you how much I like your shot!!

Straight away Neptune comes to my mind (not the planet...lol). Lots of shades of blue and a great splashing all over.

Very pretty and soothing. I like the blue better than the earth colors in 'Falling Water' but that's just me. Completely different feeling with this closeup. Interesting experiment.
awjay
great angle...

WOW It is lovely Tara. Yes, Postwork and play with photos can be a big fun :-) I do it all the time. Just made some crazy paintings and realize they are good for mixing into other things. Just ask Mark :D.

I agree! You, ( and particularly YOU!) can make art out of anything at all! Superb and very different.
cannonn
very very beautiful, excellent photo

Excellent work, and theoretically all we'd need is one good shot to keep us busy for weeks!

Beautiful postwork Tara, I think you are proving your theory!

Excellent render and atmosphere !

This is quite amazing, and it's something that I wholeheartedly agree with. A single image can yield so much: sometimes with postwork, sometimes with creative cropping, sometimes with a combination of the two. I have numerous images in my files that are larger files broken up into pieces, or the SAME file postworked multiple times, to withing millimeters of each postworked copy's life. Funny how that works. As for this shot, I love the fragmentary nature of it: the mosaic tiles themselves a part of a fountain that isn't entirely shown...and the image itself is likely one of these tiles, in a sense, in that it just might be a part of something larger! I love that, and truly love the philosophical thread you've started here. This is really cool stuff!

Ah, the magic that can be created with Photoshop in talented hands! And this is proof! Excellent variation, Tara! The blues are wonderfully soothing!

I originally liked the brown version best. Something has happened...this blue version has taken over:) Love the light playing off the falling water and the wet tiles. Makes a strong case for being able to getting multiple somethings out of a single shot!

I love this blue one it looks so sparkly and beautiful.

OMG, the title triggered some kind of signal in the deep recesses of my cranium at first; it took a while, and then I remembered....Fountain in Blue....Pete Fountain's Blues! Of course! The musician from New Orleans! But I digress. Stellar colors, patterns, reflections and refractions in this liquidy capture.

It really is definitely, something! Something very beautiful and unique.... I love the colours of this, and the effect of the water downpour makes it so much more interesting. You definitely have a special way of creating a masterpiece out of even the simplest of subjects! Gorgeous artwork!

I like this a lot. For some reason it reminds me of the showers in the pavilion at Casperson Beach in Venice, Florida. I believe the tiles there are actually aqua. i love the idea of blue tiles with water, it just seems like such a natural fit. Also love the idea of pulling many different things from the same original source material. Cool!
lyron
Beautiful capture!!
rudiruth
great! happy holiday my dear
