Much more interesting photo in original form.

Remember Mies..."Less is more." That holds true for photo
post-processing, too.

However, photography is an art form and as such, modernism produced
Pablo Picasso who over his career veered from Symbolist imagery to
Surrealism - all and any of which were never boring, sterile or
monotone in concept or execution and still called "modernist".

Let's see your stuff - put it out there.


I don't know what all the fuss is about. Some pictures look very nice
natural. Some look very nice photoshopped. Personally, I have a lot of
fun with PaintShop Pro. Here's a modified picture taken of
a horse paddock that I modified in PSP to look like an oil painting.
Both the original photo and the "painting" look fine to me.

Great frame!


I agree with your point.

I am going to break my self-imposed rule here by posting these, but here's a
couple of "natural" pictures of our barn and house that I think came out
pretty good. They are not artistic statements, but I just like them.
They were taken late in the daytime, so the afternoon shadows and
directional lighting are coming into play.

Nikon D70s with "borrowed" Mrs.E. lens. All I have done was to resize them
in InfranView to a manageable size for posting on the website.

Lview has some great cropping tools, and a 'custom/fine rotation' tool that
allows you to 'level' a picture. Try the 'paint' tool and put some grass
over all that driveway!
