Driveway Ice Pattern - Texture
Our temperatures this week dipped into the teens at night which caused ice to form in puddles in my driveway. I am always looking for images that might show patterns or textures. If I don't like it as an original, then there are a lot of photo apps that can be used to alter the image. I have not gotten skilled with in camera post processing and prefer the larger monitor on the computer. I have not found an app that will make use of a cloning tool. Snapseed is a favorite for being able to apply attributes to certain areas of a photo. I like Photoshop Elements 11 for most post processing of my images and they have some filters like posterize, invert, accent edges that I like a lot.

Taken with iPhone 6 - Camera+ app. The image on the left is the original with only resizing to post on web/blog. It is OK but I like the one on the right better. I cropped to a more square format--always better to take with more pixels and crop or take both. I played with midtones, lightened & darkened sliders and sharpened to the max to increase the texture. I did use healing brush to get rid of a distracting fine white line that I did not like with the curve-like pattern.
