in waning day-light
coots, ducks and swans settling
a little dog barked
walking hand in hand
making plans for the evening
a young couple
snapping photographs
moments of serenity
sunset on the lake
bittersweet
this moment when the sun sets
another day gone

For experimental purposes I “unflipped” the rose and was wondering what you think.
This week … I’m still living off some work I got done a couple of weeks ago when my Internet connection was down … And from a painted rose I went in this direction:

See you next week with the last photo and a poll!
This post was creating for the One Four Challenge hosted by Captivate Me!
Last week I had a major problem with my Internet connection and couldn’t post for a couple of days … then of course there was all the problems of trying to catch up with posts and comments. The up side is that I worked on my One Four Editing and tried some new (for me) tricks to create this week’s (and next week’s) edit!
Here was where I started out .. I wanted to have more of the tree in my next edit and although the important photo is still the rose, so I re-cropped and use the HDR app from Picasa 3:
At this point, what I wanted to do was add a little something in that washes out too white sky. So I took out my stylus and began to out-line where I wanted to put in the sky using Artweaver 5, which came with my stylus and drawing board:
As you can see, not really a perfect job with the clouds … so I went back to Picasa and did a little warming up to see what would happen:
I’d warmed and saturated the photo but alas … the rose got rather washed out … so I went to Artweaver and painted in the missing parts of the rose!
Week Two
And there’s this week’s finished product!
Here’s the gallery so far:
patterns in textures
seen every moment in life
wandering through fields
or near the old lake wharf
blink the world is black and white
