c 2008 by Jerome Stumphauzer This is a photo I took on the pier at Pismo Beach, California. It was pure luck that the couple at the bottom were in the frame. The digital photo was edited on my Mac and distorted using PhotoShop Elements.
Hi Jerome...great piece however should be under digital imagery rather than photography. As an ambassador with the Center For Fine Art Photography, we stress integrity in photography. In the age of photoshop, etc, the skill of photography is being watered down. By professionals, for a piece to be categorized under photography, it should have no more done to it than what you would do in a dark room with a photo. Any further manipulation than that, it should be listed under another media category. Your piece is wonder and is a great art piece. Just a thought of the day for you...take it or leave it...but what ever you do, keep up the great job with your artwork. --Maverick
Artist Reply: POINT WELL TAKEN. YES, I DID USE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS TO ACHIEVE SOME OF THESE EFFECT. THANK YOU.
