First To Bloom

It's that time, again, but it doesn't seem as if it's been a year. I believe they pass by faster; that, or we are closer to the sun.

More CS6

Photos can be just the beginning, and often are, with me. This was a self-portrait I made a little while ago and, using Photoshop CS6's oil paint filter.  I played around with the sliders to get a somewhat natural-looking oil portrait. As with most any shot I save, I began with a huge size, with high resolution, in case one would like to have prints made. I usually save them as 24" x 36", and you can always go down from there. (Staples can print up to that size from a file).
