Dove

This dove is hunkered down on the birdbath on a cold, foggy morning.  Processed in Photoshop Elements 6 with Topaz Simplify buz sim and an Elements dry brush filter.  Levels were adjusted and I ran it through Topaz DeNoise as well.  The dry brush layer was set on opacity soft light above the buz sim layer.  Brushes were added in the corners in colors taken from the photo.   Font is CK Becky.  Hope you like it.

Camera settings: Canon EOS Rebel T1i, F/8, 1/320 sec., ISO 400, focal length 250 mm.  No flash.

Tiny droplet on an apple in my backyard.  Photo was cropped tight, processed in Photoshop Elements with adjusted levels, high pass filter and Topaz DeNoise.  I used the rectangular marquee and radial blur for the frame.   Hardest part of this was waiting for the tree to stop dripping so I could get a shot!!

Camera settings: Canon T1i, F/5, 1/400 sec., ISO 800, focal length 100 mm.  No flash.
