Tai Lung

Here's a shot from our back yard this time, which I tonemapped and then added a "painterly" effect. I don't think this effect works for all images, but for this one I'm pleased ... kinda obvious, or else I wouldn't have posted it, huh?

Why "Tai Lung," you say? Here's a hint: Did you see the movie, "Kung Fu Panda?" If so, look at the photo again ... very closely.

For the curious among you, here's the original:

Before I wrap things up for today; a big thanks to Damien over at Your Photo Tips for featuring yours truly and my humble little blog in his post on July 25th, "Weekend Perusing: The Way I See It." I wasn't really sure what I was looking at for a second — I was so taken aback — but once I realized I had, indeed, clicked over to Damien's site, I was just tickled ... all sorts of colors. Thanks again, Damien, for the mention and the kind words. That was very nice.
