This little flower is distantly related to a dandelion. It is growing in my garden but my shots of it so far have come out rather blurry. What to do? I decided to fool around with the impressionist brush in Elements and came up with this. Monet has nothing to fear! Anyway, let me know what you think of it please. If I ever get a clear shot I will post it for comparison.

WOWzers!! I'd sure like that one JoAnn... Wish I had the steadiness, even
with tripod, to something like that.. Simply OUTSTANDING...

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.

I think you did very well, JoAnn. And just as good as Monet or Manet.

I like that you didn't give up even though you haven't seemed to capture the ideal shot yet. You took what you had and made the best of it and maybe this is even prettier than the actual flower. It's nice to see others experimenting and taking risks. You never know how it's going to turn out. I like this very much, especially the blurred purple background because it sets off the red flower so nicely.

I do like the paint effect, and would like to see the clear shot of it also.

Good going girl. Keep it up and keep playing with your software. Keep experimenting and getting familiar with it. What helps me is taking advice from some skilled artists who are willing to share their tips and techniques with us novices. They have lots of tutorials on the web. You did real good. Good save :)

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
