Photo Play

I admire the General Store in tiny Ashton and have been inside when it was under other management. After it sat idle for awhile, new owners picked up the business, and I have been told that it is worth another visit.

I like the look of it, but I have never been pleased with my photos.

I decided that it required a better location. Hmm . . .  how about a park. Can AI create a park around the store? 

Why yes, AC, yes it can and did. And it looks like it's on the water, but that is just an illusion.

===================

So that ↑ is or was the post, but I've played with other photos since I drafted it, so I'll append them since we are all gathered together anyway. You've seen them all at some point, but they look different now. What one does in the dog days of summer, eh?

I've blurred the background of the stiltwalker, and whatever else I did, he also looks more like a toy now if you look closely.

I also showed this next one not long ago, but I brightened it, made a border, and put a texture on the background. It looks much better now.

I got very silly with the next and final edit. I was looking at Dani's grad pics from last month and thought I could play around with the surprise element from her opening of the gifts by showing fireworks almost coming out of her head. The fireworks are also from one of my past photos.

Silly me.
