Aw that's obviously fake. Two Brits with straight, pearly white teeth? :haha:

Pics and it did happen! Nice.

Lovely!

I've been really having fun with some of my editing software. I mainly use Adobe Lightroom for initial non destructive editing. But I recently got some new programs. One is by OnOne Software called Perfect Effects 8 and the other is by Topaz and called Simplify.

So I took this portrait my wife took of me awhile back as we waited to board a plane. You can see we were at gate B1 in some terminal. Anyway, the metadata says it was taken at 1/15 of a second so I am surprised it had any sharpness. But my wife likes the shot and asked me to make it into a portrait for her to have. I used Lightroom to turn it to B&W and played with some masking and vignetting to get the background to go down to black and did some burning and dodging just like in the darkroom days. I saved a few versions. Then I took it into the Simplify program which has all kinds of artistic effects like watercolors, painting and pencil sketching filters. So here is that version.

I kind of think it has a Karsh like feel to it. I think I am in my Hemmingway phase of life.

Oh man, I can tell that canary's a goner. :lol2:

Love the hat.

I feel like I oughta get that, but, I don't.

Nice pic, and effects, Chris, as always.

Cat that ate the canary?

I need to work on the floating head thing, I'm still experimenting with the masking tools and the vignette tool.

Aww....Glatt, you must be really unhappy. Your usual smile has turned upside down.

Sundae & Carruthers: Great to see youse!

Christ: Nice!

Looking good all!

Mum, Dad and me out for a curry last night.

Nice smiles.

Nothing like a curry to warm you up on a cool night!

Haircut... haircut...
(playground chant, usually when a boy has a savage new cut imposed by Mum)

But yeah, new cut, slightly amended colour/s.

Splendid job!

Both cut and colour suit you Sundae.:thumb:
