nels Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Gordon - if you just added some grain to it in PS, punched up the contrast to 11, and tilted the horizon, it might be a bonafide work of art. Why stop short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwebster Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Alex - Thanks for the artistic upgrade. You've definitely created the moodiest looking patch of grass I've ever seen! This is lawn with attitude! This was a really fun thread - thanks Mark and everybody who played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
