Beach destressed

[vanguard]

Just having a little play around the destressed app on my iPad .

Well that's different.

What's destressed when it's at home?

The first two are crackers, mainly because of the composition.   1, 2, 3, for me in that order.

Well, that is different, it reminds me of some of the painterly effects you get in Redfield Fine Touch or in Topaz Studio, #2 for me is the standout image

Destressed fx is a iPad app that’s full of different filters ,they’re all sorts on there from painterly effects to different textures and backgrounds.

Thank you Van, you learn something new every day.  I must get my ipad out for an airing and have a look at that.

Oooh I love  the 2nd  image Van... It's very atmospheric and as Fogey says ... great balance and composition.. It's really effective ... I  do love  to see   people using their photographs  as a template sometimes  for  a creative  extension of one's imagination... I  have always  been an avid fan  of   the extended use of manipulation in any form to realise an image in my mind that has been  triggered by a something I have seen through the  camera lens. There will be  photographers who disagree fervently with my view  and I respect that  but to me it's how the final image affects  my feelings that  dictates how much I am moved by an image ... and it's not always necessarily the technical  skill involved  in capturing  a perfectly exposed and balanced picture . Great to  see the experimenting Van ...

Recently I’ve been thinking about creating photos with a dream like feel to them, the not so perfect or sharp image. These are the first images that I think have that quality, start of a new project I think.

I did a similar series of images a while back using the same filter/processing method, some work really well, others not so much but you begin to build up a set of images that do work well.

Out of interest Van, Would you consider showing us the 1st image  before you  distressed it ....? It   looks like a well composed image  in. it's own right  so I would be interested in seeing it ....

I’m not in a position to up load the the untouched images, but here’s the first version I did that are stored on my iPad.

Very interesting processing. I like second one best. I like it in mono too. Minimalist composition works well.
