Mr Smiley does like it when it snows - even if it's just a little bit!

Climbing The Walls ...

I had so much fun with this week's Sunday Challenge , which had the theme of selective colouring , that I ended up with several possibles. Here's another of those that didn't get used and, once again, featuring Mr Smiley. He sure does like to go climbing. First, it was the tree in our front garden and now here he is climbing up the back wall of our house!

Smiling In The Shadows ...

This is my entry for this week's Sunday Challenge which had the theme of selective colouring . For anyone that likes to know about such matters, I use PaintShop Pro whenever I'm doing this kind of exercise: although I know there are loads of other options available. I start by getting the original image tweaked to the point where I'm happiest with it and then create a duplicate layer, which I sit above the original image. I then convert the duplicate layer to mono/greyscale before deleting out the area I want to highlight, which then lets the coloured original underneath show through. Finally, all I need to do is merge down the two layers to form one single image ... job done! This particular shot was taken a while back, but I'd never gotten around to posting it online and I felt it leant itself well to this week's challenge. Mr Smiley always makes me smile when I see him and hopefully he'll have the same effect on anyone visiting my photostream.
