Miche', unfortunately this just takes me to the Walmart site where they ask you to sign in. Do you have another place such as flickr or zoomr that you can post your images from? Don't worry, we can talk you through it if you're having trouble.

I posted a new image here. Now I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for using too much photoshop ...but I think I like that it looks painted. the original image was very very dark almost useless. This is what I came up with afterward (laughing) I hope you do not think it is equally as useless. However, someone always comes around and says something that opens my eyes to something new and I look forward to that. So let it rip!

Actually it's kind of interesting. Sometimes when I have a shot I can't bring myself to give up, I'll do some kind of PS artist thing to it, like pencil sketch.

Saralonde,

This is more along the lines of what I like to do with images. I can't help the converging "paints" with photography, since abstract painting is my first love. However, I know I'll have to learn that some images are strong enough left on their own. I find it interesting too. Thank you, what a pleasant surprise.

Sometimes it helps to add a little of of grain or noise to an image that's been overprocessed - it just ties it all together again and it will reproduce better if you intend to print it photographically. But be careful of those filters - they tend to give themselves away - subtlety can be very arresting.

Miche',

Now the caption/title makes sense! I thought it was a reference to your painterly edit of the first photo. This is more direct, doesn't pretend to be something else, and is done well. You're right: knowing which ones to do what to, is part of the learning.

Jiminy,

You are right the title to the other did not make much sense and that had to be fixed. I really like this image much better. Thank you!
