DRIP DRY; & WINTER FERN

Were "Drip Dry" (2-7-15 008v5) a painting it would be dripping dry as I just now finished morphing it. It's yet another shot of those fern branches I so enjoy looking at. And, yes, I do take time first to enjoy what's in front of me, before reaching for my camera in my bag. Not to mention that just framing a shot often reveals things to me I'd not noticed when just standing there, empty handed. I used a bunch of Photoshop filters on this one. Though not a color one. That's the result of inverting the pic from a largely yellowish-green version. I stumble on some of the color combos I wind up liking the most that way, which is why I always try "invert" just to see what a pic would look like. Of course, not only color is effected by invert, but shadows and therefore what grabs the eye. That, too, is when I can see something about the scene/pic I'd not noted before. Then there's how inversion grabs my imagination. It's often the filter that starts me off on one of those lengthy series of versions of a single pic. Sigh, I wasn't going to say anything, but just can't leave it alone. This is one of those pix in which the colors are different in other programs I view them in: they are a tinge more to the blue. So that background more resembles a clear sky.

And here's one of the other versions from the same original pic (these colors are true to what I see in other programs), "Winter Fern" (2-7-15 008v3):
