That's an interesting technique of blanking out the background in the market women. I am going to try doing it in Gimp to give me an excuse to use the software.

I read that twice, YesNo. Gimp? I mean, I love it and all, being an opponent of political correctness and a supporter of free speech, but even I am somewhat taken aback--is there really a software program called Gimp?Quote:

And I prefer to remain in ignorance of any other meanings of Gimp!
These software names are mysteries to me. There are also software titles like "R" and "Python". I've recently downloaded "Scribus" for desktop publishing since I am hoping to put together an ebook. My problem is I have to get off my butt and learn these. At the moment I'm trying to get motivated to just make a trial book cover.
Yea, It isolates the subjects. I like minimalism, sometimes, quite a bit actually.Quote:

There is a minimalist streak to the image, definitely.Quote:

Love the (pine?) forest with the sprinkling of orange trees. That's how it looks here as well.
Thank you. Yes, they're pines - with the odd spruce among them. The orange trees are birch.
This strikes me as a very sexual picture, NS. Did you have the same thought as its creator, or am I just being weird and inappropriate again?Quote:

The sun is really nice in this. I am intrigued by the reflection in the last one.
