As I learn Photoshop

CRABBY APPLE
Our first assignment in Photoshop class was to put our name on a picture, and call it "Name File", well here's mine.
This Crab-asple was staring at me when I was sitting in my car one day, and I decided to bring him inside. His friends can still be seen through the front windshield of my car in the background. I "NAMED" him "Crabby Crab Apple" and was like me when i had to first learn how to work on a Macintosh computer! ARR!
Night on the Bay
This a a photo I took this summer in Sister Bay Wisconsin.
I changed the type to a painting and used a variety of mixer brushes and stroke techniques and reloaded the brush pulled from the original photo.
Tigerswan
This was one of my "Animal Morphs" that I had to create for class... found the Lion & a Swan on Pixabay. I used a color burn on it to create a wild-like look.
Dovegle
This was one of my "Animal Morphs" that I had to create for class... found the Dove & Eagle(s) on Pixabay. I added a paint layer to blend the birds together and I warped the eye to make it look 'meaner'. I added Eagle feet and head to a Dove.
I did a WHALE of a job on this one!!!
This is the result of a "final practice" assignment we had - I actually enjoyed it because all I had to do was follow directions. (most of it was already in a file, we just had to change a lot of things and add few new layers).
Sailor's Delight
This was the result of my "Tutorial" I mad as an assignment in my recent Photoshop class.
I simply added a gradient adjustment layer and used a bright orange.
DingMe
This was my first in the "color adjust" assignment in my recent Photoshop class.
I took this photo in Ellison Bay, WI
I simply used the lasso tool and masked off all the color into black & white but left the soft blue of the inside of the dingy.  I also worked allot of the colors to lighten and darken different areas of the background.
YakYakYak
Here's a before and after shot of the Kayaks down at the Egg Harbor town beach. Another photo I took myself of Door County this summer.
This was my second in the "color adjust" assignment.
The Goats
Here's a before and after shot of Al Johnson's in Sister Bay, WI
This was my third in the "color adjust" assignment.
Al Johnson's uses goats to keep the sod roof 'cut'.

This was my "pretend TV add" that would not make it to the second season, , , we had a choice of 5 Prairie Dogs and a number of other images including the logo and text.
Hot Headed!
In this "Human Morph", I used a variety of adjustments and color burns. Imagines found on pixabay.
Catured
This is a haunted house I took a picture of,,, after reviewing the image I believe I caught a real 'live' ghost!  
The Ghost up close and personal.
Leopard Lady
This was one of three Human Morphs that I had to create for class... found her on Pixabay and added a Leopard texture and used different burn tools.
Eye of God
Here's an image I captured with my camera this last summer, I added a curves & levels maps and adjusted hues etc. I call it the Eye Of God.
My Prides and Joys
We learned how to do photo fixes and corrections, and here is a before and after of three old "wallet riders" I had been dragging around for 20+ years.
