Hey there, my friend! Good to hear from you again...been missing you! My problem with the pen is I'm used to holding the mouse with the right hand, but I am exclusively left handed when writing! I had to switch hands & it will take some getting used to. This image is magnificent, as are all your master pieces! #455413

Hi Pat, thanks for the drop by and your warm comments.

I'm finding that with a little practise, one can grab some interesting pics at unusual places with a cell phone camera.

Then using PS magic, an workable image can be made.

This is very cool Norm!! Your imagination at work again and your PS skills at their best!! I love the hues, textures and great title to match!! Always a pleasure to view your imaginative work - and from shots with a cellphone at that - coollll!!!!!

Hi Wendy! Thank you for the nice review and encouragement.

We were hanging out in the mall last sunday and wandered into Macy's when I saw the clock projection. Of course my camera was in the car, but then I remembered the cell cam so I went for it! (smile)

I was worried somewhat about the hot spots caused by the reflected light and was having trouble working on them, so I hit on the idea of using the lens flare filter and fading back some.

Still not sure, but otherwise, I kinda like it myself. (grin)

Excellent shot, Norm...but it's not a secret that you have a keen eye to spot the "usual unusual"! Fantastic PS work! #2848404

Thanks Jane!

I take my cue from you when it comes to using the photographers eye to catch the "usual, unusual".

I always say, "each one, teach one" (smile)

Norm;
You've certainly got the creative eye. I periodically check your gallery to see what else you've 'cooked up.' You have awesome vision, creativity! Another maginificent job on this image too!

Thanks for the support Mike!

I recently redid the gallery according to category with the composite stuff first. Man, there was so much stuff that I had forgotten that I had even done! (smile)

Thanks for your wonderful gallery! #2900919

Thank you for your support, "kindred Spirit!"

Actually my Wife, Godchild and her Mother were all standing on the spot looking around, when I happened to look down. (laugh)
