I call this "Surprise"
I combined a boy with a face painting and a old Birch Tree trunk. In the Layers group, I changed the Blend Mode to Difference on the top layer (Birch Tree) and this is what happens. Playing around with blend modes and various images, can be a surprise every time.

Two at Home in the Forest Preserve
This photo was taken with a short lens on a point and shoot camera with an ISO way too high. I used Topaz Buz effect to make it more like a painting than a poor grainy/noisy photo.

Sitting in a canoe on the Chicago River - Trump Tower
It took 4 separate images to get this vertical image of the new Trump Tower. Because the sky was overcast, the infrared did not have the usual pop.

Not every Barn has a Sewing Machine
This old treadle sewing machine was located in the Heritage Farm Barn in Wisconsin. The sun was very bright from the window and had to control it with HDR exposures.

Abandoned Migrant Workers Homes
These old buildings were once home to migrant workers in Door County, WI who did field work and picking in the orchards. Now in disrepair and abandoned. Many photos of these old buildings are to be had before they fall to the ground.

Morning Light
From the Evanston Beach this lonely Sea Gull passed by with a beautiful Sunrise over Lake Michigan. I ran the image through Topax Simpfily and made more of a painting like image.
