"A Dutch Painting"

I think You have chosen a good complect of manipulations. Works for me. I guess that original is also good.

Wilson, we know you have the talent to find and produce beautiful images, although I believe there is another talent in presentation. Your PS skills are excellent and your eye leads you well through the myriad of choices the program offers. Excellent and pleasing to my Dutch eyes.

It's always been a pleasant to see your works,

and touched !

Regards!

this is a "classic"!

Nice composition. About the canvass texture, I personnaly don't like the Photoshop texture because of the repetition of motifs. I prefer use a scan of a large true canvass that I load as texture. The effect is better.

Very creative PS work, I like the effect. Beautiful scenery, a rare example of effective PS filtering ;-) Regards, Carsten

Thank you all for providing valuable feedback. Appreciate them all.

 

Henri, noted your comment with thanks. Yes, I agree about making our own texture. The PS own "canvas" and "burlap" texture are much too "mechanical." The "Sandstone" however is quite subtle without any pattern in it. ^_^

Exquisite effect, Wilson, great shot to begin with, what can I say...thanks for showing.

Thanks, Walter. I'm just glad that I don't have to spell "pig" in Dutch (I'm sure you remember Neuschwanstein.) ^_^

Who says drag racing photographers like myself haven't a smidge of taste. I like..no, love this. It is "pax vobiscum" made possible.. My "telling" comments are nothing new..they have already been set down. Keep doing what you are doing. The flowers in foreground ARE the action . the breath of life in wind at which these hint at the proper speed for the area, and the big machine in the background. How wise to capture their motion. Keep it up.
