Hi there! Loved your post. I would like to read a little detail on each attachment. The first one appears to be computerized art from a photograph, is that correct? The tree is just amazing. I loved seeing all your work. Please do give us a little information on each when you have time. Thank you.
rank amateur here, most of the stuff i have is dig photog
first is a cropped dig pic of my son, and there was some photoshop processing... think i threw on a layer over the top, fairly transparent dry brushed if i remember, no color enhancements.
second is a tree thats on the outside corner of a shed in rural mississippi, wifes grandparents home ... ill attach the original photo. i like the shed, but the light is pretty harsh and i just had time to take a quick shot or two. again, photoshop processed for sepia filter and some other layers to texture it a bit. again, i do what i like to it... not necessarily what a pro might do. still learning the basics.
third is a string of big bobbers or floats, each about a foot and a half in diameter that were hung on the backside of the shed. processed again for the effect i thought looked interesting.
next is my son again, one day old. again photoshopped. the processing is never, ever satisfactory when it comes to freehand artistic stuff... but again, it took a pic that wasnt optimal and hid some of the imperfections and made something different and interesting. this is one im hoping to do a version of freehand at some point.
last is dig pic of a tree outside my house after the ice storm came through about 2 months ago.
most of what i have is pics or processed pics. a few pencil pieces. we'll see what i can find.
heres the original shed pic with the tree...
and the original of the floats on the back of the shed.
open to suggestions and comments, and neg critical comments are always welcome. always nice to know what others would do differently.

Thank you for sharing information on each attachment. Hey kp2171, I would not rank you as an amateur. I love each piece, the original and the artistic version. I have a friend in Tulsa who does computer art and does really well at the "Fine Art" shows. It definitely takes talent. I have tried my hand at it but not much good so I will just enjoy viewing your and Nick's and others who just do amazing work. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Viewing other's art always inspires me to get busy with my art. Thank you for that also.
sons picks were crappy point and shoots... the one where hes cradled was borrowed, the closeup was sony cybershot dsc-p10... thats dead now, thank the Lord.
the trees and the floats were with a nikon d40x w/ a 18-55mm lens. been happy enough with it so far, but havent had long. personally, i wanted to buy the d40 or another model and put more $$ into glass, but my wife doesnt always frame things well so she wanted this one, knowing the lenses would cost more and knowing that i thought there were some other good options... but like i said, ive been happy so far except when id like a lens i dont have... yet.
Those photographs are great!! I love the one with the tree and the one with the ice. Also on your second post of pictures the one with the tree and the shed looks really cool!! I even seems kinda eery with the lighting. Wonderfully done!
