Cobweb
Macro shot of a spider in its web. They shot was taken quite early in the morning, hence the dew on the web, which I think enhances the image.

Gargoyle Smudge Painting
This is a technique I've started experimenting with following an article in "Practical Photography" magazine (Issue April 2008). Using a close up photo I'd taken of a gargoyle, I converted it into a realistic painting using the smudge tool in Photoshop Elements. I dropped the photo into the PSE Full Editor and duplicated the base image (duplicate layer). After this I selected the smudge tool with a rough round brush (set at 80%) and began to paint over the photo, alternating between normal, darken and lighten modes where appropriate. Once the 'painting' was complete, I changed the opacity of the painted layer (set to Normal) to 85% to retain a modicum of the original photo. Lastly I added a hue/saturation layer to get the end result.
Gargoyle_Triptych
My latest offering on Flickr. I shot this cheeky looking gargoyle from 3 different angles, then merged the images to create this triptych
