Two New Images


Two new images and so different.  The image above is called Doves. I had this image sitting in my unfinished folder for a long time so I thought I would play around with it again. Not sure where I got the doves pic from but the sunflowers are mine. I like the artsy painterly look - finally ; )



This is just called B&W.  The image is from unsplash.  Thought I would work on some more B&W bridge/geometric type images. This was actually a colored image. I did a lot of work on this and I ran a photo filter at the very end so it does have a cool/bluish cast. I also wanted a grainy feel.
