Zoo Duck (Graphic Novel filter)

This photo is a zoo image (sorry, image may not be reused.) The zoo duck was inside, and it was raining (inside), so the duck tucked itself together. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Zoo Grizzly Bear (#3) (Graphic Novel)

This photo is a zoo image (sorry, image may not be reused.) I had posted a couple of shots of a grizzly behind glass (rather close to the glass, actually.) This one was a little further away, and didn't have the glass streaks. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Zoo Grizzly Bear (#2) (Through Glass) (Graphic Novel)

This photo is a zoo image (sorry, image may not be reused.) I shot this image of a grizzly bear through the zoo's protective glass. While it gave me a nice close shot of the bear, it also gave me some weird streaking on the glass. I think the Graphic Novel filter lines somewhat helped, though it's far from a perfect image. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Zoo Grizzly Bear (Redo with AuroraHDR) (Graphic Novel filter)

This photo is a zoo image (sorry, image may not be reused.) I shot this image of a grizzly bear through the zoo's protective glass. While it gave me a nice close shot of the bear, it also gave me some weird streaking on the glass. I was able to fix it somewhat, but it didn't turn out completely like I would have hoped (streaks disappeared). Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

River Otter (Zoo Photo) (Graphic Novel filter)

This photo is a zoo image (sorry, image may not be reused.) The river otters are one of my favorite animals. (I think it has something to do with a colorful description that a zoo worker once gave in describing them.) Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Unusual Fish at the Zoo (Graphic Novel filter)

This photo is a zoo image (sorry, image may not be reused.) I have found underwater images to be quite challenging (low light, moving subject), so I tried the Graphic Novel filter on an Aurora HDR edit. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Eastern Phoebe Looking at Me (Graphic Novel filter)

I've already posted too many phoebe photos in a row, but I really liked the pose and the way that this picture turned out with the Graphic Novel filter. (The colorized version is ok, too.) Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Eastern Phoebe Preening Redo (Graphic Novel filter)

I had previously processed this image with a dry brush filter, but I like the way that the Graphic Novel filter brought out the lines (where lines could be brought out.) Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Mourning Dove Between the Grass and the Playground (Graphic Novel filter)

The Mourning Dove was on the wooden plank on the ground that bordered the edge of the playground. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Striped Gopher (Graphic Novel filter)

I ran this striped gopher image through AuroraHDR, and then I processed the image on Photoshop Elements with the Graphic Novel filter. In the bw image, the top looks like the wavy pattern of fire, while the grass around the gopher looks like... grass. In the colorized image, the whole thing is grass. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Hostas Purple Flowers (Graphic Novel filter)




This is another photo redo. I especially like the brushed background look on this photo. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Black Cat in the Grass (Graphic Novel filter)

It was a blurry picture of a cat in the grass. Oddly, the eyes went white in the Graphic Novel filter edit. (Seems more appropriate to yesterday, Friday the 13th....) Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Rabbit on the Move (Graphic Novel filter)

This rabbit in the field was on the move. Actually, it was just getting started. I processed it here, first with AuroraHDR (for HDR), and then I ran the image through the Graphic Novel filter (a few times) over on Photoshop Elements, and then I colorized the image. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Fixing a Flicker (Graphic Novel filter)

Here is my original-ish image. Among other problems, the Flicker is sort of hidden in a shadow.


I ran the image above through the Graphic Novel filter on Photoshop Elements. (This is probably my favorite image of the three posted today.)


I layered the original color image back into the Graphic Novel filter image above. It looks like... a colorized Graphic Novel filter image, but I still think I like the BW best.


Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)
