It's A Yellow Peacock And Lavender Grass....

Lately, when I look at other photography blogs

I notice something strange happening to me.

Every part of my being becomes charged with electricity

while adrenaline courses through my veins.

I feel excited.

I feel alive.

My eyes widen and I swear I can feel the brightness

bounce off my enlarged pupils.

I am inspired by what I see

and I am amazed at all the creativity, talent, and artistry

that I come across.

My soul is nourished, yet restless

because I know deep down

what I aspire to be.

Lately, when I look at other photography blogs

I see all the possibilities that can come from inside of me.

********************

Some of you may recall this peacock from an ealier post

Inspired by other photographers creativity

I decided to tweak it.

At first,

I was afraid to do too much,

and I was careful to maintain the original image

and here's how it turned out.

But,

I still wasn't quite satisfied.

I wanted something dramatic

and different.

So I kept all the original editing I did

and then I tweaked some more.

I added more effects here and there

and I turned my peacock yellow

and the grass a purpley lavnedar color.

It's not traditional by any means

but I sure do like the effect

and I think it's much prettier than the original.

I printed it out this morning onto a postcard.

The colors are so vibrant and beautiful.

I'm patting myself on the back.

I did good.

Now, I need to learn how to add texture to my photos

because that is what makes my heart beast faster

when I see it on other blogs.

It just adds so much originality to the already amazing photos.

I am learning so much

and I am very appreciative to those who came before me

and unknowingly showed me the way.
