Floral Dreams created by Olga.L
This is an attempt at P. Ventosa effect: Please critique this and tell me what you like and what you don't like about this image. Pep Ventosa is the photographer who has made popular the technique of walking all around a subject taking photographs, and then combining all the shots in a multi-layered final image. He uses hundreds of shots to create his masterpieces, but you can get started using only 3 or 4 layers.Apr 2, 2562 BE (www)

I would love to know what filter you used as well as settings of your camera. Love the post processing on this.

Thanks for your interest.
I use a bridge camera these days and while it has manual setting capabilities, I often shoot in auto mode. The settings for the original shot were f 2.8 @ 1/160s iso 800. The camera also has onboard filters though I rarely use them as I prefer to tweek images in post with a variety of apps on my laptop. Basic adjustments are done using Picassa 3 (a now discontinued Google app.) I have a fondness for the artistic approach to photography and sometimes my photos are treated to alterations that may suit (or not) an image. Especially effective for abstract art (My fav)
For this photo, I used a filter app called Painnt. I'll search through the filters in search of one that best enhances a photo's composition and pleases my eye. I may then tweek it further for the final work. It can be tedious and sometimes never works but when it does its really satisfying.
These post production apps offer a huge range of adjustment capabilities and image alteration for unique custom images that start with a decent photo. These works can make great large scale canvas wall hangings.
Most purists hate it but I like expanding the creativity offered.
Cheers!

MyMindsEye :
I am on board with you (and I have Picassa and love it). Pushing an ordinary photo past a "pure" image into the realm of art is also my passion, sadly (as you have said) it is not for every purist so we fall into a small but growing category of artists bent on bending the rules and rocking creativity! YAYA Thank you for your response, appreciated.

I think the artistic pull in this works to its advantage in regards the artistic car,it almost leas out in this and although it might upset purists in regards to the car and its vintage,i think it works
