Narrow Passage - Artistic Print
As some of you may know, I like to occasionally delve into the digital art side of photography. I ran across an interesting tutorial for applying artistic effects that I thought would work well with this image. This is that artistic rendering of a beautiful hidden alley through the colorful abodes of Vernazza Italy. From our 2019 tour, the original photograph was posted soon after our return.

Nature's Way
Close up abstract of a leaf on a slow moving water feature at the Shaw Nature Reserve
Ethereal Dreams
This is a a shot of Jessup Path captured n Acadia National Park, circa 2021. I previously posted the original as the camera captured it, sans motion blur. I subsequently saw this photo as an excellent candidate for this painterly effect and added the motion blur effect in post-processing with Photoshop, simulating ICM.
