Man, this is fun....Fab has us hooked. This is a shot of the Cape Florida Lighthouse which I took one early morning at sunrise with the Crandon Gang (Al, Fab, Gina)....I ran it through the processes I've been using with the birds and parrots and this is the result.

Again, I used my watercolor action, mystical lighting, and afx edges 6.0; digital velvia and canvas textures.

The photo was taken with a 20D and 24-70L....

Question for y'all -- what would be the best paper to print up these ditties to give it more of a painted look?

Definitely PhotoRag Mike, it's my favorite photo paper.
If you have the 2200, use the regular black, no need for the matte with the Rag.

Spectacular job.
Proud of you partner!!!!! :!:

Big time :mrgreen:

Excellent, has impact, bold, man those colors, ......... love it! :)

Now, (just my tastebuds talking), I would be tempted to soften the ragged edges a little bit. The reason that I say this, is because the edges attracts my attention just as much as the lighthouse.

Still a nice one dude!! :)

Beautiful job on the picture Mike! you have certainly got the watercolour effect just right in your work - I am just not happy with the results when I try it! 8)

I love the glowing colours and light in this picture. Really excellent!! 8) :D
