Something Different

I thought I would try something different, converted to an oil painting in Paint Shop Pro, this is a cherry blossom taken the other day which I think is a bit early for November.

Well Jack over 100 views and not a single comment so I will add one, think the treatment has worked well on the bloom but I think I would have left the background out of the amendment and just darkened it.

Just my thoughts for what they are worth.

I think the problem here is many regular users are going straight to the "recent activity" button and if the first dozen people who look at a thread fail to comment then it slips into obscurity, I think another problem is the 100 lookers haven't quite known what to make of Jacks shot, personally its not my thing either, if you want a painted picture then take up watercolours

PS; I find the blues a bit distracting, could you trun them green?

Thanks for your comments, points taken, I was just playing about with it maybe I should have played a bit more,

Jack,
at least over 100 looked at it they might not have liked it but they did look,

Or maybe even less

I quite like it. I like the way the shadows fall.
I think that the background is a little distracting, I think there should be less of it or maybe a lot more!
Perhaps it requires careful thought about which subject you apply it to.

I do think that you should try these things, it could be just what you need to make that good picture great!
