Waking Dragon...hmmm...Then I'm afraid your yesterday's post was The Portrait of The Lady of the Soft Heart and the Iron Fist (also known as The Lady of the Sharp Sword and the Steady Hand). Have you ever heard of her?

Rosalyn Sears: lol! I can certainly imagine her! (:o)

This is just light play, VZ. Plus an over active imagination. Same sort of thing yesterday, except that yesterday`s was flipped into negative.

Well...now that you point it out...I can see a lizard sort-of-a-thing rubbing sleep out of its eyes.
You gonna hafta 'splain these pitchers, Rosalyn!

Rosalyn Sears: Hi Ray, just something I discovered in my hallway! (:o)

Let me put you out of your misery. We have a half-glazed front door, with small panes of glass. Some of the panes have `bullseyes`, or `boules` (I think that is the proper name for them), they look like the bottom of of bottle, if you know what I mean. The sunlight coming through the door is concentrated through these bullseyes and throws some interesting light patterns on the floor, walls or internal doors - depending on the time of day. This was around noon on a summer`s day, so the light was very bright, creating a sharp light pattern on a painted white door. I took a portrait photograph of it, cropped it to the edge of the pattern, and flipped it to landscape. Just a bit of fun, really. Yesterday`s was turned into a negative in Microsoft Picture It, because I liked the way it looked as though someone had done a swift charcoal sketch.

Interesting!

Rosalyn Sears: .... and free, and I did not even have to leave the house. (:o)

Full explanation in my reply to Ray, if you would like to know more. (:o)

I do see a waking dragon, Roz, seriously. But I have no idea how you made it. It's wonderful!

Rosalyn Sears: Glad you are seeing what I am seeing, Ginnie! (:o)

Full explanation in my reply to Ray, if you want to know more.

Another great one ! Should be smoke patterns ?

Rosalyn Sears: Thanks, Aps. Light patterns, actually.

Terrific dragon or with that long neck is it the Loch Ness Monster. I love it Rosalyn.

Rosalyn Sears: lol! So pleased you can see what I see. (:o)

Oh is there a dragon about? Let me grab my sword. I must fight to protect Shutterchance's poor and helpless from any and all dragon's lurking about. The trick is to get the dragon's attention without him devouring you and then declaring you "tasty."

My imagination can see a dragon too. Thanks for explanation. I like the way you have fun processing pictures

Very surprising and mysterious composition ... I like this effect of smoke flying softly ... Well done !!!

Rosalyn this is dragon at it's very best.

Even I with no fanciful imagination can see the dragon - he looks like he is howling at the moon though ;o)

Wow, this is gorgeous Rosalyn!
Like the name too!

The title to this should be A Wounded Dragon, as the Lady of the Sharp Sword has fatally wounded the poor thing in the stage of rage. And when she turned into the Lady of the Soft Heart, she healed the Dragon and he fell asleep and slept for three days and now feels much better.
And so it goes, as Kurt Vonnegut would say.

PS. Well, maybe it is a Waking Dragon afterall.

Thanks for the explanation here Roz, but I am sure I just saw the dragen flying by, it missed me by some inches

You're at it again! I'm still clueless! Oh hang on I've just read your answer to Ray. So it's just a load of boules!

excellent shot.

This is really good ros. Really impressed. how did you do it?

Arriving late has given me the chance to learn what this is - and the picture is very clever

Without a doubt a magical effect!
