Now that is what I was looking for. Great transformation on this. Now this is a great Halloween photo. Now when Halloween comes around there will be a headless horseman running around in this field. So much more spooky. #9330167

I've learned something new today. I had no idea that ghost's were produced in a filed like this.

Great photo editing work Merna. #9330349

Hi Chris, Kim, Patricia, Irene and Laura:
I want to thank you for making this a special day for me. I learned something that I have wanted to do for so long and you five members have made my day. I don't think I have ever received five messages in one day after posting an image. My best to all of you, Merna

Hi Merna This is so fantastic when you look at the original. I am taking this photo and what you used to create it to the school tomorrow to try and learn the great the editing you have done. #9391342

Merna L. Nobile May 06, 2011

Hello Fernanda: I had such a good time doing this, but afterwards I have a hard time remembering the sequence. I have written some notes and hope that will be enough for the next time. Merna #9391964

Jean Lechleiter May 24, 2011

Hi Merna, this is really cool!
After quite an absence I've been checking out your gallery.You have sure come along way. Your D.D. work is excellent! #9426324

Merna L. Nobile May 25, 2011

Hi Jean: I have had so much fun with this image, I might need to re-enter it in the fall, around Halloween.
As to my work, I decided to get serious and looked for someone to teach me the editing process and something about the filters. At 73 I really thought it would be a wasted effort, I am slow learning, but once I catch on I love it.
Talk soon, Merna
