For Litz :-)

Litz loves Switzerland, and I took photos during my 2006 visit; however, they were somehow lost...I have a few but the prints do not scan very well; this was another alternative.

Very cool Dawn, so what is the final size? This is great, LuvIt. dp
Dawn Duffield said (21 Oct 2009):
The final size is 5x7, David... I did crop this one so that the photo on the right would be more visible.

Thank you all so much for your comments! I looked some of the others in this category and they are incredible!!!!! This is definitely the rookie version of rasterbation ;-)

Dawn Duffield said (22 Oct 2009):
Very welcome Litz :-)

It was fun; not as clean as others I have seen, but a very ineresting project to do with Robert.
Kevin Kabuki gave props (22 Oct 2009):
cool project. You should get out more though, staying home and rasterbating all the time is bad for the psyche, though the hair on the palms thing is just an old "non-rasterbating" wives' tale

Mary Brown gave props (22 Oct 2009):
This doesn't look "rookie" to me. I think you did a splendid job. Congratulations. I too "chickened out" from trying this project.

Whatever a rasterbator is - this is an excellent photo, very interesting!
Sarah Whitt said (23 Oct 2009):
great capture, love your technique!
Charles gave props (23 Oct 2009):
Very cool. I immediately went and tried one after viewing this one yesterday. It works better with scenic street scenes of Bern than google-eyed frog macros. :) Noce work.
Christopher J Chalk gave props (24 Oct 2009):
And a great alternative at that! Love the picture frame to the right and the hint of blue just compliments this image beautifully!
