When sharing becomes abuse.  
One of the things I hear a great deal here on G+ is the importance of people "sharing" but what does "sharing" mean and at what point does it become abuse,  dare I say,  spam?
   If "sharing" is sharing your own views,  your own creativity with others, great.   But all too often it seems to be about simply regurgitating the work of others...endlessly...to the exclusion of doing anything original,  individual or authentic.    Case in point.   I recently had someone circle me,  (which is pleasing and I hope they enjoy viewing what I have to offer) and as a matter of course I checked on that person's page to see if they in turn have content worth viewing.    
    Upon going to the page I see that the person claims that they aim to share their work/pictures/poetry/music whatever with others,  terrific!   Solet's have a look at w... more »

Something a little experimental.  I can't tell what species of plant it is,  but as you can see it is flowering and vine like,  grows in warm humid conditions.  A fair bit of work in Photoshop to isolate the plant from what in reality was a fairly busy background.  I was hoping to replicate the effect of a coloured drawing, or watercolour painting on a white surface.

Thanks to those that have left comments and/or added me to their circles recently.   I'm currently "out of town" with intermittent internet access and hence I'm a little slower to respond than normal.   I'll get around to checking on other people's postings in the not too distant future.  :-)  KD.

Ostrich in long grass.   The continuing experimentation with digital image processing.   I did both a monochrome version and a colour version of this image and liked both.  Then I decided to blend the two effects and arrived at a muted colour effect which I think ends up being pleasing and subtle.   I've contributed a few shots to #flybyfriday  over recent months but this image has got me thinking,  maybe we should start a "flightlessfriday" theme with photos of ostriches, emus, rheas etc welcome!  :-)  #niksoftware

A wood carving which looked (IMO) uninspiring in the original colour image, comes alive with a high contrast black and white treatment.

Revisiting some of my photos from India in 2010...good grief was it really 2 years ago? Experimenting with Niks Color Efex Pro software and came up with this image. A bit over the top? Maybe, but interesting to see what it can do. I'll put up a more detailed account on my blog shortly. :-)
