fresh catch

28mm f4.0 1/125s ISO100
My favorites lure, Joe's Flies Super Striker, never fails to ignite the fish.  Here is a small white bass I landed on Sunday while out for my birthday fishing adventure.  Painted beauty and a fine memory...

  5. Soul: I use primarily two free programs for editing and manipulating images. paint.net and The GIMP.

    This image was processed in GIMP. I used the "oilify" filter to simulate an oil painting of the photograph. Then I did some color enhancing to brighten it and give it some over saturation. Then I layered a "cartoon" filter over it. That added more colored separation and the darker and black "low-lights" making it look stamped.
