The Face of God

This is the image as it was captured from my camera. This was taken looking west. The figure in the cloud only lasted for a few brief moments and was gone. God communicates with us on a daily basis. Are we watching and listening? Allow him to really open your eyes so that you can begin to really 'SEE'.

An attempt at selective de-saturation. Starting with a color shot I desaturated the entire image first and then added a layer mask. I then used the paint tool with white to paint back in only the portion of the cat which extended past the curtain's edge. I lightened the eye and saturated the colors. Hope you like it.

I used gimp to bring out the light in the center portion of the flower. Early morning light gave this flower good light yet maintaining the detail in the flower'. In about another half an hour, all the dew drops would be gone.

You only need look in your own backyard for inspiration. That magic light was shining so wonderfully on our heads of wheat. I underexposed to really bring out the sky details. I also adjusted the curves and saturation. This was one of the better images captured tonight.

Metals chairs stacked outside a Center City Philadelphia Cafe.. What attracted my attention was the repeating patterns the stacked chairs make. The form along with some early morning light created the stark contrast. This would most likely would not have been the case had it been later in the day with the sun directly overhead. I encourage you to get up early and shoot, doesn't matter what you shoot as long as you're paying attention to the early morning light. Learn to 'see' light.

This flower was from Mother's Day in an arrangement I gave to my wife. I shot this single flower next to the window. The green in the background is from the grass outside. I lightened the petals in the center of the flower and shifted the color to enhance the yellow and bring out a warm tone. Hope you like it.
