Angles are all sharp – lots of triangles that give a hardness and incisive component, but they mostly point upward or toward the centre, and maybe that is what gives it the softer side – Not surepost processing in Thumbsplus desaturationAshley Davidoff Sea HorseUnintentional blurring Post processing in Thumbsplus changing contrast and saturationAshley Davidoff A Vase of Flowers.Mexico city The rustic nature of the home (and of things gone by) and the beauty, freshness and youthfulness of the flowers caught my eye. The contrast of the green and blue background seems to match the dominant green and yellow colors of the bouquet providing some harmony The flash of orange topping, and the bright pink at the base brings the interest The reflection of the blue and green in the glass vase brings the background and the vase of flowers together – – lucky me – since I believe that this is what we pursue in art and life – wholeness, and harmonyUsed dark edging as a filter and some post processing in APS to enhance the backgroundAshley Davidoff A Walk in the Spring ForestNature pic with post processing usung a variety of filters in Thumbsplus and AFSAshley Davidoff Garden Shed.Post processing ThumbsplusAshley Davidoff Dance of the SeaweedAs is and as was – no post processing – just a collection of seaweed in the sand that gave the impression of dancersMashpee Cape Cod MassAshley Davidoff SpringtimeAshley Davidoff Dedication to Women Around the WorldAshley Davidoff SpringtimeOriginal was a reflection of a tree trunk in a melting ice puddle – With manipulation of contrast and saturation, the green which was the bordering grass became the tree top and the orange leaves in the puddle started to look like flowers around the tree. That the trunk is a reflection provides I believe a floating, light and hoping an ethereal or maybe surreal sense to the photographNikon AF Thumbsplus post processingAshley Davidoff An Early Morning Walk.AF PS Thumbsplus,sepia tones, layer techniqueAshley Davidoff Winter Reflection at SunsetAF Fractal TechniqueAshley Davidoff Rowboat at SunriseNikon AF Adobe and ThumbsplusAshley Davidoff The Living Dead Tree.I loved the new life creeping up the dead tree – death gives rise to lifeAshley Davidoff Mother and ChildChagall in the Ice on the SidewalkWaning winter days of BostonAshley Davidoff Mountain in the Sky at SunsetAF post processing ThumbsplusAshley Davidoff The Tree at SunsetDedicated to our late friend Omri DotanAdobe PSAshley Davidoff A Peak at Impressionism from the Window of Realism via a Puddle of WaterThis picture is unadulterated except for a 90 degree ccw rotation and a small increase in saturationKidron Valley Vermont in the FallAshley Davidoff Reaching for the StarsAshley Davidoff Elegance at AscotNikon Thumbsplus post processing The SecretNikon Zoom Autofocus, post processing ThumbsplusAshley Davidoff Red Trunks and a Dip in the MediterraneanWe are so small and the ocean is so bigNikon with post processing in Adobe and ThumbsplusAshley Davidoff The Barefoot Girl in a Blue DressNikon post processing Adobe PS and ThumbsplusAshley Davidoff Dancing in the CitySlow shutter speed, post process in Adobe and Thumbsplus converted to inverted b and w –Ashley Davidoff FearWaiting for the Train to AuschwitzAshley Davidoff photography copyright 2021 EnPointeThe image was removed by admin since there was not enough detail about the image This is a repost … So here goes – Taken on slow shutter speed during a dance performance allowing for the feel of movement – Colors inverted and then desaturatedThe only comment I could retrieve was the followingB and W recommended by fellow Impressionist photographic artist Bette Boven Ebel Was not sure whether the inverted version was better – This one to me, had a more of an ethereal feel Thanks for the recommendation Bette!There was some important discussion that I am hoping the admin group can retrieve and repost The Spring flowers of Glenvaugh National park – Donegal IrelandThumbsplus post processing softwareAshley Davidoff Greenway Bike ride, Westport IrelandAshley Davidoff Cezanne’s father in the winter in FranceCezannes uncle in the summer in Israel?Ashley Davidoff The Color PurpleHumming Bird Jerusalem Israel At One with the Sun and the Wide OceanFrom the series “Oneness” and “The Art of Red”beach in Tel AvivAshley Davidoff En PointeFrom the series “The Art of Dance”Ashley Davidoff Lady in Red Collecting Yellow FlowersFrom the series “The Art of Red”Ashley Davidoff Fisherman in Red Caps on a Misty MorningFrom the Series “The Art of Red”Ashley Davidoff Pointilism En PointeAshley Davidoff The Red UmbrellaFrom the series “The Art of Red”Millenium Park Dedham Mass USA Ashley Davidoff Lady in a Pink Dress Takes a Walk in the Magaliesburg South AfricaAshley Davidoff What a Dream I HadFrom the Series “Dreams”Ashley Davidoff Onward and Upward in Maroon and WhiteFrom the Series “The Art of Dance”Ashley Davidoff Elegance in PurpleFrom the series “The Art of Dance”Ashley Davidoff FaithFrom the Series “The Art of Dance”Ashley Davidoff IMPRESSIONIST PHOTOGRAPHY Photographs rendered to create an Impressionist ambience
