Photo Art Friday - May 11, 2012

Hello and welcome! - Hope you have all been having a great week. 
Now it's time for some Fabulous Photo Art courtesy of Bonnie at Pixel Dust Photo Art.

This week the theme/s were:  Any Piece of Photo Art or a Piece that features a "Horizon." - I chose the latter and had some fun playing around with my photo's.  In fact I think that I must have spent about 4-5 hours working on this weeks theme.  I couldn't seem to decide what photo to use or what effect I liked the best.  Plus I like to add quotes to a lot of my photo art so I spent at least an hour looking at quotes that had the word Horizon in them.

In the end I came up with 3 different photo's that I want to share.

For this one I edited my photo on PicMonkey, Added the Frame from Pixlr-O-Matic and then the quote was added back on PicMonkey.  I like the old fashioned look that this one has even though this particular picture did not have the fall like tones that I finally settled on.

For this one I went to a new photo editing program (new to me at least) called, Foto Flexor.  They have a bunch of different techniques you can do to photo's and the one used here was called, Cartoon.
For some reason when I first read the theme for the week this song from the Eagles popped into my head so I included a line from the song.  I think the effect sort of looks a little like (Neon) just not shiny.

Lastly here is another view with a different quote - Effects from PicMonkey, Frame from Pixlr-O-Matic



Below are the 3 Original Photo's used for today's Photo Art.  They were all taken at Bennington Lake here in Walla Walla. The mountain you see in the distance are the Blue Mountains.

  19. I think I need to check out Pixl-O-Matic, those frames are great. I love that first photo. It looks like a scratchy old photo that's been in someone's back pocket for a long time.
