I enjoyed last weeks entries, some very good and clever stuff. This week I selected another of the pics Elvis posted ...(remember we always can use new ones)..... so here we go with "Swans". Lots of room for Crockoducks and Penguins and suchlike, but my first attempt is just a simple paint job. ;D

Well, there goes the first penguin Elvis, nice sepia pic by the way. ;D That's a well filled scene Angel, lots of swans, nice foliage, and there's that bloomin' turkey that keeps popping up. Here's one I did earlier using angled strokes in Photoshop.

Thanks Ken, but it's all down to Photoshop, I just press the buttons. ;D. Here's another version.

There's Gran looking as winsome as ever, nice pic KC, and Penguins Angel, they're my favourites. ;D This is another psychedelic sort of night shot, or something.

It looks like your using a night sight to hunt your Christmas dinner Nocky.

Thank you Ken, I had an enjoyable day in the sunshine. Have you tasted swan Angel? I thought that was illegal.

Happy Birthday, Nocky. Hope you had a good one.
Yes, I have and it was legal.

Thanks Angel, I had a good time. That's a scary looking pair eyeing up the swan KC, I hope their intentions are honourable.

They get on well with swans Nocky, they only eat penguins. You will notice the Crocodrake is much more handsome than the Crocoduck. Probably a nesting pair as its spring time. They will go back to the Galapagos islands in winter, they are the main reason the Galapagos penguin is in decline.

I though we should have a couple of Tigons in that picture. I got in on the act with Polly, just to prove they are all harmless.

If it gets any more crowded in there we'll have the Animal Liberation crowd after us. Nice work though Ken, I like those Crocoducks. ;D

Elvis had the right ducks, but put them on the wrong string. So I moved the whole river over.

A nice change of scenery there KC, the swans look right at home. , I like that one Elvis, nice colours. Well done. Here's my attempt at showing how Van Gogh might have done it (thanks to DaPainter trial). ;D

After a fair bit of fiddling about, I finally managed to restore the washed out colours of the flowers in the foreground. ;D

You know my fondness for bright colours KC, but I do enjoy a nice sepia print, and that really old looking wooden frame sets yours off perfectly Here's a pair of texture experiments. ;D
