Stamp out tool

I used the stamp out tool to take the leaf out of the picture to the left that is covering the flower. Then I added some additional water spots after removing the leaf.

Filters

This was the animal parade at the Windsor County Ag Fair last weekend. I used the radial blur for the filter so that you focus Llama and USA girl. Fun was had for all.

Draft Pony Pulls at the Windsor County Ag Fair Last Weekend

My Husband and I are both Directors on the Windsor County Ag Fair committee and last weekend was our annual fair. After a gruelling day of selling tickets Saturday, I took some time and went to watch the pony pulls. You'll notice in the picture on the top that there is a man behind the team. The picture on below reflects the photo being cropped and the man being removed by stamping him out. I realize that this is not part of this weeks or last weeks assignment, but I was so excited to remove him from the photo and have it look natural, that I wanted to share.

Luna Moth dodge and burn

I was really excited this week when a Luna moth decided to grace me with his presence. These are truly a rare sight for me and to get this close and personal was a great experience. The top picture is the original picture taken Wednesday night after he flew into my house and landed on my kitchen window sill. I then took that photo and burned the background of the photo along with his spots, feelers and border to his wings on the top. I also burned his over all green color to be more vibrant. I then cropped the photo to make him really stand out.

The end to a rainy day proved to be a suprise with this beautiful sunset at about 8:15 pm on June 29th.

The top image is that of the globe layered over the waterfall.
