Concentric, rotting circles full of colour!

Cut Tree

Log 

Found some rotting wood…took a picture…that is about it!  This image is basically untouched, I only cropped a bit off the top to frame it a bit better.  This shot looks great in full res, the detail is amazing.

This wood is petrified!

I was out for a walk, and saw this new fence being put up….I liked the geometry/angles etc, and snapped this shot.

Fence Orig I tried to get the “butt end” about 1/3 from the left and the bottom (“rule of thirds" you know).  And then I went to town in Paint Shop.

First, you will notice the perspective wasn’t right on…I took the picture angled downwards a bit, so I did some perspective correction.  Then I cloned out the white space between the boards, as I found it a bit distracting…I also cleaned out the other distracting stuff between boards.  Then I clarified, adjusted contrast/saturation, and got this:

IMG_4483_2A little better…I always like wood grains in monotone….so let’s try sepia.

Fence 1Hmmm…one more thing left to try.  Lets go back to colour, and add my newly discovered filter 

Fence 3Which do you like best??

CD Cover Concept 2Had an idea for the cover art for a CD, maybe with some fiddle music…What do you think?
