Some of you, through comments and emails, wanted to know about the header photo I had up over the weekend (the middle photo here). How did I do it?Our digital images are made up of pixels (a combination of the words picture and element). The closer you get the larger the pixels become. If you expand the pixels enough it sometimes gives the effect of a painting.
I was just having a little fun cropping small portions of the photo of a strawberry bloom and increasing the size. The first photo is the original. No Photoshop required.

Interesting effects. I have just posted a strawberry flower photo today, although it's a more usual white.
It's lovely. I thought you'd put it though some photoshop element of some kind.
Lovely flower! Thanks for sharing this great shot with us on *PicStory* :) LG tina

Yes, it's just beautiful. You are having a lot of fun with these, too, I can tell. Thanks for the "lesson" and how to make my OWN pastel picture!
that's really beautiful. love it!
That is beautiful. And it's like the watercolor effect I have on my paintshop! Well done.
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS?
i have done a lot of playing with filters but have not tried this, making the pixels bigger. beautiful and it does look like a painting.
You picked a peck of pixals.
Zauberhafte Effekte hast du hervor gezaubert...

I like the painted look. That's as close as I'M going to get to being an artist, anyway!
Pretty pixels in pink! Thanks for participating!
Take note, there will be no post for Saturday on either blog. I will be away.
Close or far, you just gotta love those lovely colors!
Beautiful. The bottom photo really does look like a painting!
Very effective - what fun!
It's a strawberry bloom?? Well, I don't know pixels from pixies, but this is outstanding that you did this without any photo editing program!! You really continue to amaze me, Judy, and I think you could make quite a bit of money as a photography teacher. I am always aspiring to do something that you have just done. So you make blogging fun and exciting for me. You were the one who taught me how to snap bees. Now I will have to find a flower and try this, but I don't expect it will be very bloggable, it will be fun trying, though.
This is lovely.
Such a very interesting effect - it really does look like a very lovely watercolor painting.
Thanks for the info, looks very interesting...Christine

The last one looks like a painting!
