Now what a frame using the trees to create a tunnel to look through. The pinkish color of the building really make it stand out while the effect you used really makes it look like a painting. I would have not use that much of the effect as it makes it a little hard to know what you are looking at. Keep up the good work.

One can be for or against, but I am for! I like the special effects. Often a sight of for exemple a town or a street, seems like a postcart you can buy everywhere, but with some special effects it becomes something special, made by an artist! So this is for me very beautiful.

Ciao e grazie Patrizio!
Can I ask what the Italian word, 'davvero' means? - as I am struggling to learn your language!
Posso chiedere che cosa la parola Italiana, 'il davvero 'significa? - come sto lottando per imparare la vostra lingua!
Molti ringraziamenti per le vostre parole consigliare e del positive, Patrizio. Diverso di molti dei donatori del cervello su questo luogo.
Saluti.
Colin.

Colin I think both images are stunning, both in different ways!! What a beautiful place, it looks big and yet secluded and private. Very nicely seated in the midst of all the lush greens, and the lighting is wonderful!! I too have an interest in photo manipulation and recently bought a painting program but still have to figure out how to use it, and find the time. I really love the impressionistic look of your image, very lovely effect!!
Art and photography and their expressions do not have to be limited or restricted by rules IMO, but should be open to exploration. I like what you did with this!
Colin, I read in your bio that you suffer chronic pain with FMS and I just want to say that I'm sorry to hear that. That cannot be easy, I'm glad that you have photography as a diversion. I wish you good thoughts and well feelings!!

Have a nice day!

Thanks very much, John. I appreciate both the positive words on my photoart, and the kind offer.
It's interesting that you're a carpenter, (my name's Cartwright!) I traced my great grandfather, who made coffins! He came from Yorkshire, and moved up 'north', here, in Victorian times.
Regards
Colin

Hi Colin! This is really a great job editing!! Your creativity shines here!!!
Looks like a beautiful canvas oil painting!!!
I didn't realize about Your health Colin.
I have a similar condition that also leaves Me in extreme pain most days!( I am a carpenter so it makes life tough!)
If You ever want to talk about it drop Me an e-mail at JoLoea@aol.com!
I will say a prayer for You Colin!
I'm so glad We have photography to go to when things get a little bleak!
Take care My Friend!.................John

Hi Colin,
I don't believe that each kind of photography has to stay in "in rigid compartmentalized boxes".
What I mean is that we have to look forward and not simulate the "past" with the new techs.
In my opinion the digital imaging has a lot of potential that we don't use yet ...because we still think in "analogic" way.
So...not a boxed compartmentalized boxes" but a universe of new ideas ! :)))
Bye

An excellent critique, Giuliano!
If you meant that we should stick to photography or painting, in rigid compartmentalized boxes, then that is one point of view. But I like to be flexible, and if my photography does not remind me of the actual atmosphere, or event at that point in time, then I cannot see why you should not use modern software manipulation, to the purpose it was intended.
We all have different opinions and tht is what makes sites like this so interesting (and addictive!).
Una valutazione eccellente, Giuliano. Se significaste quello, dovremmo attaccare a fotographia o alla pittura, in scatole suddivise in compartimenti rigide, allora che sono un punto di vista. Ma gradisco essere flessibile e se la mia fotographia mi non ricorda dell'atmosfera reale, o evento, a quel punto a tempo, quindi non posso vedere perchè non dovreste usare la manipolazione moderna del software, allo scopo ch'è stato inteso. Tutti abbiamo opinioni differenti e quello è che cosa fa i luoghi come questi così interessante (ed addictive!).
Ringraziamenti per il ristabilimento della mia fede nelle valutazioni di provocazione e di qualità di pensiero, Giuliano!
Riguardi gentili e ciao
Colin

Hi Colin,
apologize but photo is photo, paint is paint (and image is image).
I don't believe that technologies have to be used to compensate at missing skills. Probably I'm too much strong but also the use of digital photo is wrong if we use it to replicate what we are not able to do on analogic photos.
Each tools and technologies have to be used for what it can give but...looking ahead.
Just a personal opinion...
(more than 25 words ;) ... I fully agree with your post on the forum!)
Bye
Giuliano
P.S. My last picture has been taken in Liguria too!

Very nicely done, Colin, my friend...altho' I doubt your confessed "poor painting skills" (clearly I'm going to have to go over there and ply you with canvas/paper and your choice of media and watch you work), you definitely have an artist's soul. This one must go into my favs.

Isn't it amazing, what you can do with software, Colin? Already the original looks like a painting.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Dana. I liked my original photo, (which I have posted below it), as it was such a beautiful area of Italy.
However, I felt it needed some 'painted' effects, to emphasize, (and try to recreate), my memory of this atmospheric and unspoilt place.
The images from these past holidays, make excellent, photo manipulation material!
Regards
Colin

I'm with you I can't paint either. This is quite well done. I like the treatment it gives the photo some substance. I want to say it has tooth, more umph.

Very good composition, Colin! I like the way you've framed the buildings with the foreground trees. Nice lighting to highlight the town, too.

Hi Colin,
A wonderful application of effects.Like what you've done with the basic image and the border effect is an added plus.Make me think of water colors.
