Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

Roozy that is just sick! wow

Wifey comes rushing in from garden, in obvious pain and panic. "I think I've been bitten by a snake!" Inspection of the wound on her ankle reveals blood has been drawn, but no puncture marks. Removal of sock dislodges a bull ant, about 1" in length. Despite being repeatedly stamped upon, the feisty little bugger kept struggling to get up again, with menacing lunges at the camera lens. One look at those huge serrated mandibles explains the drawn blood and the pain. Wouldn't like to meet a whole army of these fearsome warriors. I didn't know ants had furrowed brows!

Don't come and live around here then they are endemic.

A couple of minuits in Gimp as well; could be improved on. I did not use it but Gimp and I belive PS both have forground extract tools now.
I like images where the main interest is in colour and the rest of the scene is in black and white.



I watched a youtube video about the method you used K1W1 where you select the colour and drag the sliders down to remove it?

I just duplicated the layer - added trandsparency to the original layer - erased around the girl on the original layer - cropped around the girl on the original layer - changed the coppied layer to black and white.

I wrote some code in Imagemagick where you specify the colour you want kept and the "fuzz" factory and it automaticaly does the job ( it would not work very well in the photo above though ):

I actually used the Adjustment Brush in LR and painted the whole scene then used the eraser on her face.
