Title
- Chameleon Eyes
How I did it -
This is a composite of the eyes of a Madagascar Chameleon I took several years ago. I copied the eyes and pasted them into a new layer and using transform - flip horizontal I brought the two images together. After flattening I increased the saturation a bit and sharpened. I added the film effect from On One's Photoshop presets in Photoframe 1.

The image is creative, interesting and well done. The frame, though creative, is probably inappropriate for this image as it detracts from the very humorous subject. |

I don't understand why looking like film would be desired. That said, it is a striking image. What a bright frog you created. It is definitely an attention grabber! I wonder why you had to copy one side and put it on the other. It looks quite froggy as it is! |

Good job. Great colors, cute, funny, interesting. I like the film strip. Love the eyes. Don't change a thing. |

Scary. Dramatic attention getting colors. I'm not sure that I like such perfect horizontal symmetry. The two sides seem to be competing with each other. |

FPSA - Biography
| I am a
semi-retired Pediatrician who has been
interested in photography for over 50 years. I
work in a hospital clinic 2 mornings a week and
devote much of my free time to photography. I
have been officer and president of the
Schenectady Photographic Society which was
founded over 75 years ago. I have been a
District Representative of the Photographic
Society of America for many years. I have
written innumerable articles for the PSA Journal
and have entered many salons. I have an
Editorial Gold Star and I am a 4 star exhibitor
in Nature Salons. At the present time I am
Chairman of the Digital Group in our local
Camera Club. Many of my nature images have been
published in textbooks and foreign photo
magazines.
Over the past 6
years I have gone from conventional darkroom
work to the digital darkroom. I have a PC with a
Pentium II processor with 256 meg of RAM. I am
running Windows 98, Picture Publisher 8 and
Photoshop 6.0. I have used Canon equipment for
over 30 years and recently purchased a Canon EOS
D30 digital camera. I use a Umax Astro 1220U
flatbed scanner, a Canoscan FS 2710 film scanner
and an Epson 1280 Stylus printer. I am eclectic
in my subject material but prefer nature
subjects. I try to get to many photo events in
the Albany, New York area but I am somewhat
limited by a chronic arthritis condition.
I have been quite
satisfied with my digital images acquired with
my digital camera. I do believe that the
photographer makes the image not the camera. It
takes a good photograph to make a good digital
image. |
