Computer geek extarodinaire, I love to tinker with gadgets and tech items to get them to do what I want. I'm either logically artistic or artisically logical. I'm also rude, crude, semi-barbaric, socially unacceptable, and totally psychotic. On the bright side - I am potentially harmless. I'm currently trying to write some short stories about the fae as well as a novel on those same fae as well as two other novels. The programs I have for photo and image editing are: Photoimpact from Ulead, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 2X. Recently I've added DAZ Studios as well as Terragen, Blender and Google Sketch to my list of programs crowding my hard-drive. All this and much more on an old Pentium III 450 with 396 Megs of memory and operating Windows XP. It does get interesting at time.As of December 26, 2008, I have added Vue 7 Pioneer to my list of reason of why I'm going insane.
As of January 2010 I upgraded to a new HP 2 dual core processor with 6 gigs onboard mem with 4 gig powerboost and 2.07 terabytes of Hard drivesMy email is faemike55@gmail.com

Thanks Mike!!, it really is a very interesting photo! The rock to the right looks like a resting 'Tup' which is what I would have called it when I lived in Cumbria but the shadow also throws a face into the mix. Is the bird a bird? or another interesting aspect of the rock? Brilliant capture!

That is not what I expected from the previous post. Never had any idea that it was driftwood. Being a traditionalist I have to say I like this one better.

I've been to one beach...once. In B.C. It was full of rocks and driftwood. And pine trees. I think there was sand under all the dead junk, I'm not sure.

I don't know which I like better---they're both terrific, Mike! I loved your manipulation, and now I love the original. You zeroed in on a wonderfully expressive bunch of 'beach stuff': logs, driftwood, pebbles, some shells I'm sure, grasses, sand...and your textures and smoothness in this shot are beautifully captured, and cropped for a painterly abstract. Wonderful piece. And I'm a big fan of seeing originals next to manipulations. I don't think I've ever done that in my gallery, I should do it one of these days. (I'm afraid the originals would sue me when they saw what I did to them...) Terrific photo.
