Photo Assignment: Fine Art
Not too long ago I mentioned that I was working on a photo assignment that had to do with Fine Art and photography. I've spent some time around the farm taking various photos and have decided that the photo of Frack is my favorite photo taken for the assignment, and this is my favorite digitally altered version of the photo.
This is a portion of Frack's photo that I shared here on my blog. I cropped the photo so that I was happy with the way the flow of the feathers moved through the image and created a pleasing composition. Then I created a bit of a watercolored appearance to the image, and gave it a bit of a texture to mimic canvas (it might be difficult to fully appreciate the textured appearance with online viewing) *grin*.
LOVE the composition, the digital "painting" detail, the vivid colors, just LOVE all of it!

FANTASTIC Photo. You could say I am Rooster and Chicken obsessed or at least that is what my family and friends say and if I didn't live in a large city I would own 2 or 20 of them.

That is awesome. I have an HD computer screen and I can totally see the texture. That is so cool. -Molly B

I bow you, Miss Anna. This is "fine art" indeed. His feathers look like the finest oil painting. Awesome, baby!

Anna, I'm beginning to sound like a broken record but I have to say it again, amazing just amazing! And remember I'm the city girl NOT the farm girl - I've never seen such beauty from farm animals. Just goes to show how you look at the world, eyes open - eye closed - Thanks for opening mine.

Breathtaking!!! I don't even LIKE chickens. I used to hate to go to my grandparents in the summer...we never wore shoes and the chickens ran free in the back yard. Yuck...squishy between the toes!

There's no doubt about it - he's a beautiful bird - so much to work with. Majestic, really! It snowed AGAIN in Idaho last night! I'm not April Fooling, either! xoxo Jeanne

The hackles of his neck and saddle will be twice as long or longer in another years time, the colors will be even more varied and glowing. Watch out for the little prairie wolves! They like chicken, even those beyond a fryers' age.... Love, Dad
