Feed me Too–After and Before!

So excited and happy to see that Feed me Too made it to both Pixels and CreateHive – thank you to both sites so much for choosing my images!

I spent quite sometime working on this image.  Cropped it first with CropSuey – then used Camera+ Clarity Filter, then I think I used one of the light Drama filters in Snapseed and used one of Snapseed’s Grunge filters.  Created a couple of different filters in AutoPainter and AutoPainterII – then spent some time in Iris blending and masking.  I think I also put image through DynamicLight but can’t remember now!  I should write everything down! 
Anyhow, below is the Before photo!

Amazing what a bit of cropping can do to a photo!
Feed Us was from the same photo shoot but I had a different look to it :

and below is the Before!

Again cropped the photo and then used TouchRetouch to remove some of the seagulls.  Think for this one I only used AutoPainter and AutoPainterII then blending and masking with Iris.

Of Lines and Shadows

Syon House is about 5 minutes cycle ride from my house and it is so beautiful.  It has the most amazing Conservatory.  I took this photo in the summer – the light, lines, shadows are magnificent!  I could go visit it every day!
Took this photo with ClassicPan and cropped a bit of the edges with Crop Suey.  Did a bit of processing with Snapseed and then took photo into PhotoToaster where I added the blueish filter to it and the frame. 
Anyhow, very chuffed it has been featured in Pixels today! 

Here is the original photo :

If you are ever in West London you should go visit Syon House!
