Artistic waterfall

 
This is a waterfall at ricketts glen state park here in Pennsylvania. I took a photgraph over a 4 second interval, so the waterfalls appear very soft. I then applied a dry brush filter and multipied a pallet knive with the filter and achieved this look. As you can see from the original photo i made some modifications and did some cropping.

Mountain lion

 
Again just being in the right place at the right time... this lion was hanging ou in the back of the cage, nd all of sudden came right up to the window and ploppe down just in front of the window facing towards the crowd.

Snow Leopard

 


This is a picture of a snow leopard at the philadelphia Zoo. I managed to get really really lucky. I was watchin the leopards (2 of them) just hang out when all of a sudden a thrid one came darting out of nowhere and jumped the other two. After a quick rompus the leopard jumped out of the pile and stood there snarling. With the camera already set up i started to let the pictures fly hoping i get that magical shot.

Artistic Swan

 



This is the same as the previous swan, however I used a few filters in photshop to give it a more artistic rendition.

Reflections

 



This was a picture of a swan that i took and Knoebels grove in Elysburg. the photograph originally had two swans in the piture. After a little playing around i made the reflection stand out and cropped the image a bit more to eliminate the second goose. What you see left is what i thought was a nice composition of the goose looking at itself in the water.

Green Tree Snake

This is a picture of a green tree snake i took at the Philadelphia Zoo. I used different layers to accentuate the borders. When i originally took the picture the edges were a bit to fuzzy and i anted to sharpen them up.
