Default Tic, Tac & Toe.

Good Morning DPS Family! I was playing with a couple from the wetlands, I really wanted to post the 1st one, but wasn't sure if it was good enough. But there is something about it I like so here you go.

Tic Tac & Toe (Cropped and modified using Topaz Simplicity)

Weeds. (This one is pretty much SOOC, Cropped slightly and levels adjust in CS4)

Hope you enjoy these and Have a Blessed Day
Michael

Your pictures not good enough? Michael, your pictures are always good enough and such a pleasure to view. I love the colours of the ducks. All different. It's a great photograph and the second one is not just good enough. That one is outstanding. Thanks for sharing your Awesome work Michael.

Dave.

Making the ordinary look extraordinary yet again Michael. Love No 2. BTW glad to see that some of your recent macro's were with your Sigma 105, as I have decided to keep mine. Decision at last! Thanks for these my friend. God bless for now. PAUL

That's Great Paul, That little Sigma 105 is a sweet lens and you will get better and better with it. Especially when you start using it with the camera and the lens in the manual modes, you'll discover how good it can be. Oh Thanks for the Kind words as well.

Thank You Sheltiesmama! That's the Topaz Simplicity effect, I really like the softward, if applied with a little restraint. l.o.l

Thank You Ian! Tic and Toe would agree with you I'm sure!
