i see you... in a different light




I was playing around with my image editing software tonight and came up with these two very different looks of Cowboy hanging out in the recycling bin. I still don't know why he crawled in there - but he did. I swear I didn't make him do it.

also - i realize the first pic doesn't look all that "speshul" but i used kind of a "soft pop" technique on it - just to brighten and deepen it up a bit. it's much prettier than the original :)




okay - i also had to throw this shot in because it makes my heart smile every time i see it. this is his beloved puppy - serving as a pillow in this picture. it was FarmBoy's toy pooch as a lad. Cowboy adopted him early in life, just before turning two, i believe. they've been inseperable ever since.

Very pretty bean! Nice work!

I too, at times, feel like being recycled (and just starting over) LOL! Especially on Mondays. **wink**

The new coloring looks great, however, the first picture is great too. It'll look great in a scrapbook. Do you scrap? You are indeed lucky to have such great photographic gems around you at all times.

I am so jealous of the fact that you know how to do all this cool stuff with pics. The one you did looks great, so bright and cheery!
