Rick, Very good work! Just wondering if you could give some info on how you do this? i.e., which software, what is your process etc...

Thanks

I'm using Photoshop CS 2.

It's roughly a 200 step process using Photoshop. It's a process I have been working on for over 6 years now. It's a combination of diffusers, blurs, splayed strokes, angled strokes, and much, much more.

Each images demands something else, no two are alike. It's always a challenge to figure out what to do, and when to do it. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm NOT.

Trial and error for 6 years, and I still love to play.

Glad you like them!!

Rick, I followed your instructions... Just wanted to play around with my Photoshop. I had to use one of your photos because I don't have any. I hope you don't mind, if so, let me know and I'll remove it. Here's what I came up with, any comments?

Don't mind at all !! Not too bad....for a first attempt. Stay with it, and you'll figure it out.
