Druid's Dream

Original photo was cropped and then colorized in green (monthly theme). Then contrast, brightness, and saturation was adjusted. Kaleidoscope filter was applied, and finally, the image was sharpened.

Well, thank you Judyann! I began birding a couple of years ago, and what I witnessed eventually inspired me to get a camera--so I could share some of the beauty and wonder that I saw with others. Thanks for your complimentary words! #3548821Ivan Chacon November 05, 2006
Very cool image Cary! :) #3549199Cary Rogers November 05, 2006
Thank you, Ivan. The flower clusters from the original photo have interesting geometric patterns, so I thought I'd try emphasizing them with more geometric manipulation. #3550107Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna November 06, 2006
Fantastic image, Cary...in fact your whole gallery is FANTASTIC!!!!! ^.^ Kitty #3553464Cary Rogers November 06, 2006
Thank you for your flattering words, Kitty! You have quite a wonderful gallery, yourself! :>) #3553582Su Sana E. P November 06, 2006
Wow!! Cary, I love what you've created here. Awesome effects work!! I think we'll see this again. #3554976Cary Rogers November 07, 2006
Thank you Susana! I just posted the original photo--in Monthly Theme--from which I created this image. The plant is called common tansy....and I really like the spiral design in the normally-yellow "buttons." #3557505Vladan D. Djordjevic December 15, 2006
Beautiful photo! Green dreams. It is like Oriental pictures. Lovely! #3706332Cary Rogers December 15, 2006
Thank you Vlad. When I created this final image, I saw various dream-like faces in it--including the ancient "green man"--which I imagine Druids would see in their dreams. #3706361Nadya Johnson December 30, 2006
