About Inspired by my friend on myspace.com Sara. I shot a bunch of crayons and used a effect in Photoshop CS2 to give them the melted look. Thanks for looking and any comments are appreciated.

Wow this looks great Dwight! I love the colors, I thought at first you must have shot a stained-glass window to start with, and was wondering how you got it so vivid! The crayons were a great idea.

Dani, Hello my friend! Thank you very much for the comment.
First I did a custom white balance off a gray card using manual mode with my D200. This gets the colors perfect with no colorcast from other lighting.
I then shot the crayons and using Photoshop CS2 working in the raw convertor adjusted the saturation to what was pleasing to my eye, cropped and applied a sharpening effect.
Went to filters and then applied a liquefy effect with a large brush. Pushed colors and worked till I was happy with the effect. I will include the raw to jpeg conversion without the crop or effects for comparison.
Warm Regards, Dwight

Thank you very much, Parehan! This image started out very simple ( just a bunch of crayons ) and with Photoshop and a little time became my first try at Photoart. I'm so very happy you enjoyed, my friend! Warm Regards, Dwight

Now, that is how my mind feels sometimes. I really like what you have done here. The shadowing adds a 3D type effect and it has a wonderfully happy feeling to it. Great work. The vibrant colours are awesome.

Thank you, Mary! Is it just me or did we dream in black and white back in the days before color tv and color film. I'm so glad you liked this one.
