Dinosaur Traps by Terence Russell

HDR enhanced photo taken at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. Dinosaur Valley State Park showcases the first dinosaur footprints ever found. Discovered in the 1930’s by a rural postman reported his find to the local high school science teacher. Suddenly, world wide attention was focused on the find and the New York Museum of Natural History actually cut a block containing some of the tracks from the bed of the Paluxy River and are supposedly still housed at that institution. Remaining tracks are still visible in the riverbed and surrounding rocks. These dinosaur replicas were produced for Sinclair Oil for a World’s Fair and following the closure the fair, donated them to Dinosaur Valley State Park. Took third place in Webshots Creative Challenge on HDR images. HDR info / Handheld, single JPG image copied to make 5 identical images, Photomatrix Pro 3.1 used to set exposures to +4 to -4

Apartment For Rent by Kim Calvert

She seen the ad in the paper, It wasn’t exactly what she was looking for, in fact it was down right creepy, but she had No choice, he would never find her here, and she was / tired of running from him..tired of being scared all the time… / The rental agency was suppose to be sending some one over to show her the apartment, but they called and were running late, they told her to go ahead and go in and look around..she started to climb the stairs when she heard what she thought was a / muffled scream..”Hello”.......no answer..”Knock it off, quit letting him do this to you” she tells herself..taking a deep breath she climbs up the rest of the stairs and opens the door, feeling for a light switch..something crawls across her hand…she lets out a little scream..shakes it off and walks inside..So dark her eyes can’t adjust..feeling around hoping to find some sort of light she hears it again..that muffled scream, except this time she knows she isnt hearing things..its in the room with her…scared to move..yet scared to stay where she’s at …she reaches for the door ..but instead of grabbing the door handle she grabs a hand..a warm hand..the fingers wrap tightly around her wrist slamming her body against the door…she feels her breath catch in her throat, he legs weaken.. she can feel someones hot breath agianst the nape of her neck.and then she hears the voice that has terrorized her every waking hour and filled her nights with screams…..” Did you really think I wouldn’t find you” ??

Glorious! by Sharon K. Shubert

This artwork has been FEATURED in the “Images & Ideas” group. :) One of several music-themed pieces I’ve been working on for the past few days. This is a digital piece using my 1922 sheet music, my photo of a piano and the silhouette came from Wikipedia Commons. I altered and enhanced the original silhouette digitally for this piece. Music has always been a big part of my life, so I thought it was time to bring some of my musical influences into my art work. More of my music themed art works: ((Most any of my musical themed works have compatible color palettes and can be hung in pairs or groups.)) “The Fiddlers” / “My Guitar Guy” / “Scales & Arpeggios” / “Saturday Night Jam” / “Song of The South” / “Encore! Encore!” /

Season's Greetings II by EvaBridget

The background of this image is a strongly blurred macro photograph of clear crystals, overlayed with a celtic star I designed a couple of years ago. I made stencils out of the star in Art Rage and applied it in several different variations. Just couldn’t resist topping it all off with a star brush in PSE to bring a little sparkle to the festive season ;o) These are not your usual Christmas card colours but I find it very elegant and stylish without losing the warmth of the seasonal glow.
Glass Ceiling by rodeorose

Nikon D70s; Sigma 18-200mm lens; f/3.5; 1/125sec; 18mm focal length; minor edit for contrast only. Mick and I took our cameras for a stroll through town today, and I lingered a while at this shopfront, pondering about the tie as a symbol of male power and status, and the reflected glass ceiling.

Only a matter of time when i'll reach the light by Lina Woods

Time itself has honestly been timeless / and time itself will never lie for it takes a second to fall / comes hours of pain / and lifetimes lost though time is free / it comes with a cost at times it may be high / but at times fairly low when time goes to waste / it will clearly show reflecting back upon its own / a blank image is left alone for time is precious / for those who cherish thee for every second is a gift / a gift that comes with no price with life as the giver / this gift will not be given twice some thankful and some weary / some gifts have been lost in time / as thee eye turns teary aslong as the gift is breathing / time can unwrap the surface for every living being has been gifted / only time will reveal its purpose (unknown author)
Damaged But Unbroken by Tara Lemana

I wanted to express the sense that each of us is changed by our lives, that each person we meet changes us and each experience leaves its mark, leaving us damaged, changed, but if we’re lucky, unbroken. Each of the features used in this image belongs to someone close to me, none are stock, and the blue/green eye is mine. It is a self portrait even though the face is not mine. Photo manipulation using all my own resources. Canon Powershot A480 for all images. Proudly New Zealand-made.
Groom Wedding Sehra by RajeevKashyap

In the Indian traditional weddings, the accessories for the bride and the groom make a lot of difference with respect of the tradition. The groom’s wear in the wedding is also considered very crucial. One of the most important wedding accessories for the wedding is the Groom Wedding Sehra. A Sehra is usually worn according to the customs of the region. In North India, the Groom Wedding Sehra is in the form of a pagri or the turban and in most parts of South India, the Sehra is made up of a turban with a veil of flowers.

Memory Connection by pat gamwell

This old yellow bridge is over 75yrs old and played an integral part of my growing-up years. It used to be the main road on the way to my sister’s house…50 miles away. As a child…I used to think it was sooo massive & exciting when our car tires went ‘thumpity-thump’ over the wooden slats. / (Topaz v2.3…CS3) / /

‘Images & Ideas’ is for thinking about how images evoke certain feelings and ideas. Challenges will be about problem solving artistically and coming up with a way to fulfill the criteria accordingly in a creative manner.

We will function much like an art class. We will explore the many ways images portray feeling and ideas, how two or more images together create more ideas and meanings, how composition and personal vision can make these ideas come alive.

Please be aware that you will need a basic understanding of PhotoShop or like editing software to crop, cut and paste, layer, etc. in order to enter most challenges. We, as a group, however would love to help you if you don’t have a handle on it yet. :) Go to Forums.

Images submitted to this group should be of a profound nature and of high quality. We reserve the right to remove any work without explanation to keep pages filtered and true to the group ideals.
