Flip Flop Edit Challenge Feb 4B

Still feeling a bit out of it.  Haven't done much with the computer.  The coughing keeps me up so through out the day I feel so pooped!  Anywho...

The current pic over at Flip Flop Edit Challenge was supplied by the guest judge, Gina Kleinworth of Kleinworth & Co.  The picture is so picturesque, so crisp and clear!  Man, wish I had that kind of talent.

This is what I did:

 

With ipiccy,

• I added a blue ray texture from Kawaii & Graph.  The link I have for it takes it to a forum page so I don't have the correct link to the texture itself.
• Used the Daguerreotype filter.
• Used the Polaroid Film Filter.

With Gimp,

• I added a Double Grunge Border by Struckdumb over at DeviantArt.
• I also added some Gimp Scratch Brushes by FrostBro over at Deviant Art.

Thanks for looking!

Saturday Revamp 4

I took the picture in June of 2008.   We had gone to a zoo in Moline, Il.  It was called The Niabi Zoo.  The fish would all group together when they saw people at the edges.  They were so used to getting food.  It was an amazing site.  Remind me of a scary movie;)

Flip Flop Edit Challenge Feb 1A

Feeling much better than last week. I found out over the weekend that Pixlr.com, who originally had the editing program photobucket was using, still has it. So, I had to send the good news. So, I went crazy on Facebook and twitter. I knew I wasn't the only one disappointed.

 

Though this week isn't going so smooth  either.  Guess we can't always have a good week.   It is only Wednesday, it still has a chance to improve:)

This pretty picture was supplied by Amy. It was taken at her wedding.
