Sadly I found out today that Willie, the Sumatran Orangutan, at the Columbus Zoo, passed away on August 24th. This shot was taken of him on April 29, 2011, the last time that we went to the Zoo.
He always acted like he enjoyed it when people came over to see him, often looking like he was posing for pictures. He will be missed by his many fans.

Willie the Orangutan
Jebenezzer Law
Used Filter Forge’s Old Photo on this one. I want to play around with this one on some other shots.
Spider
Used Filter Forge’s Grunge Effect Filter. Kind of like this one if I am looking for that dirty, grunge look.
Monarch Butterfly
Used one of Xero’s Filters on the second shot called Softmood with the settings on:
Haziness: 50
Glow-Red-50
Green-50
Blue-50
Brightness-0
Contrast-0
The first shot is the original shot and is kind of sun faded because of how bright the sun was. The filtering really brought out the darkness of the greens and the color of the Monarch Butterfly. So the original went from mediocre to vivid. I like this filter.

The top shot I used the filter from Xero called Radiance with the settings:
Strangeness-128
Charm- 50
Truth - 128
Beauty - 255
The bottom shot is the unedited original.
Reflected
Playing around with two separate pictures…..a dark water scene and Zombie Jebenezzer. Bottom layer was full opacity with some burning along the edges. Middle layer was a warped twice and left at a 66% opacity. Then the top layer was a copy of the the bottom layer, the dark water scene, with an opacity of 6%.
Filters used were: Xero’s Radiance to bring out the second layer a little more.
