i am a posting MACHINE

Ok, so I CANNOT stop playing with these Photoshop actions. I had this picture, also taken at Houston Zoo, and decided to try applying some actions to it. After trying a few different things, I came up with the two options below, which are just the beginning of endless possibilities. I mentioned before how easy actions are, but something else really cool about the actions is that you can modify the layers once the action has been applied. Soooooo, even though these are Ree's actions, they are mine, too because I modified the layers to give them the effect I wanted.

I think either modified option below could look really cool in a black wooden frame with a cream photo mat. I also really like the SOOC shot, but I think it's harder to put full-color photos on the wall and make them look right. But that just might be me.....

Thoughts?!?!
