Got bored yesterday, so figured I would play around with a little cell phone pic:

Not sure what kind of berries or flowers these are, but the image just needed a little something to kick it up a bit.

Done with filters:

Unsharp Mask.
Enhanced the edges.

The rest was done with Layers (duplicated the image several times) and Blend Modes:


See what you think:

Not very good in landscape either ... This is the old mill from the opening scene of "Gone With The Wind"

If you had told me in 1955 that you would be taking pictures like that with your telephone, I would have been wondering if someone was running off a batch in that old mill.

First pic of the berries shows some definite "art flair". Appears almost
like an impressionist painting.

That's some good processing..nice work on the Mill image...:thumbsup:
