Water Fountain at Rock Creek Resort

The photo above was taken at the Rock Creek Resort, 5 miles South of Red Lodge.  It was modified using Picasa to enhance the colors and the fairy tale lighting.

Michael,

Thanks.  That would have been another good title: "Diamonds on the Water".

Don't you love how Picasa helps you make a great photo, fabulous!? Tweaking to play up the sparkle was the perfect treatment, and the spray almost looks like you caught it in slo-mo! Beautiful!

Cheryl,

I love Picasa!   Part of the joy is taking a good photo (taking advantage of the opportunity that presnts itself which in some cases may only last a few seconds) and the other part is seeing what Picasa can do to enhance the look and draw more attention to the details.  Tweaking with Picasa is fun.  :)

Hi Gerry - You are quite the artiste!  Very creative design work.  I should look into Picasa.  I still need to check out slide.  This weekend is supposed to be a great one for photography but it is on the humid side.  Hopefully, I'll be able to build up my inventory unlike last weekend's wipeout.

Hi Gerry, This is so cool.  I have made it my backdrop on my laptop.  Every week or so I change it up with some great photo from AR.  It's so funny as your name is displayed in the top right corner where I have no icons.  So you will top of mind for awhile lol.

I've used Picasa for a long time to download my photos and retouch.  Dummy me, I just found out last night that I can doctor the photos with text also.  And it is simple.

I'm going to go and check out the other photos on your other post.
