SQUAREseascapewithsmborderszDSCN4295
thank you so much for the comments! nearly all my squares are shot in square mode with the little coolpix; all processing done in Irfanview, using only global play with very few parameters; generally I play until I find something "at all" interesting. Irfanview does not track operations, but here, yes, I did an inversion; deteriorations caused by wild swings of parameters. someday I hope to change "at all" to "more than;" it would help the housecleaning...
This seascape fills the square frame beautifully. I'm a bit of a purist so the painterly effect doesn't work for me. I do see a little Seurat in the sky and Monet in the water.
