I really like the filter on this one Murry! GOod work! #123579Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Thanks, Colette, Duane and America. #123601Jean-Francois Schmutz May 26, 2019
Wonderful capture, Murry !JF
PS/ Can you telling more about this simplify filter ? #123610
Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Thanks, JF. You can download a demo version of Buzz-Lite from www.fo2pix.com in the UK. It allows 30 uses before you have to buy a key to use it or abandon it if you don't like it. I use the simplifier #1 filter which is part of Buzz but can be purchased separately for around $20.00 US plus shipping and the UK VAT tax. It takes a lot of PC memory to apply it to large photo files. It works best on photos with trees, leaves, old wood, etc. I usually apply at 5-40% but you can experiment with higher settings. Good luck! #123612June Marie Sobrito May 26, 2019
Nice work! The effects are great! I also see elephant's feet inthis.. #123633Gary W. Lake May 26, 2019

Cool, Murry! I still haven't made it down there, but will one of these days. #123654Judith G. Secco May 26, 2019
Oh, Murry, you've done it again! Great job.Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

The filter effect is very nice, but you started out with a very good photo, too.

So nice and naive! looks like a kids film scenery...Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Thanks, Bill and Gaby. #123737Evy Johansen May 26, 2019
This is a beautiful image and a great work! Thanks for the information about the filter! #123767Leanne M.E. Boyd May 26, 2019
Great shot Murry. I don't know very much about the fancy stuff, but I'm very impressed with the results. Good work. #123853Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Thanks, Evy and Leanne. #123884Charlene Bayerle May 26, 2019
Ditto Murry on what everyone said. This is really pretty. It's almost worth the trip to Texas after looking at your pictures. #123895Lem Metro May 26, 2019
Everyone has already been here. What haven't they said already? Let's see. I know about the filter. Good. Thanks, Murry. I thought when I first saw the frame, it might be a painting effect. It's sweet! And so is the photo. The washed out background highlights are so effective! I really like it. Oh, "and the UK VAT tax"? I don't even want to know, do I? #123923Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
Hey, it's Buzz Lightyear! Superb job on this, Murry!! A wonderful application on this!! A lovely enhancement...good choice!! Good luck with it! #123970Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Thanks, Char, Lem and Dolores.Char--yes Texas is worth a trip but I'd avoid June-August unless you really like HEAT and HUMIDITY.
Lem--after you add S&H and the VAT the $20.00 purchase ends up being closer to $50.00. Ellen Peach said she found Buzz in the US??
Dolores--I'm a BUZZ addict. What can I say? #124196
Evy Johansen May 26, 2019
..Oh dear, what a mess... Now I have tried the BUZZ ...... I think it's very difficult.... :-) #124201Patricia Marroquin July 07, 2003
Another Murry Buzz Beauty makes the finals! Congratulations, Murry! Actually, one of my finalist shots (3 begging Goldens) was buzzed too. I've gotta ask Ellen how she purchased the filter in the U.S.! :-) #134828Evy Johansen July 07, 2003

Evy, I just noticed I never answered your earlier post. Can I help you with Buzz? It really is very easy to use once you've got it in the plugin folder within your photo editor's folder. Let me know if I can help :0) #135697Wolfgang Dolak July 07, 2003

This is an excellent image, Murry! As Bill said, way back at the beginning of these comments, you started with a great photo that is smartly composed and then the enhancement turns it into artwork! Very effective! Good luck in the finals with this :-) #139836Murry Grigsby July 11, 2003
