Mixed Media Photograph of the Month Contest Entry 
This image was created from a picture of your every day backdoor screen. I found that by using your levels and curves tool you can bring out colors in the screen. You can also use saturation to bring out more colors. When I viewed the screen I used to create this image I saw the curved part of a tail and partial image of a fish. I loved the curved lines I saw in the tail. I also saw curved lines where the head would be. I cut out the image. I then found more curved lines within the screen which would make nice fins for the top of the fish and chose another portion of the screen for the side fins and tail fins. I assembled the fish giving him an eye and mouth. I created the smaler fish in the same fashion. You can create a lot of images by taking photoes of screen. The weeds are leafy designs I found on a planting pot. I thought they would make nice aquatic plants so I cut them out and added them to the scene coloring them green. I knew the scene needed something else so I added some bubbles which have at least three shades of blue to give them that transparent look. After I had all the elements I needed I arranged them all into this scene adding shading and added some topaz filters. If you look carefully you can see the little squares of the screen within the fish. Hope you like what you see. Thanks for stopping by! :o) Helvi
