Mexican fish photos transformed

Every now and then I play around a while in Photoshop Elements, learning more of its features. It has a whole bunch of filters, and the other day I found a photo we'd taken at Media Luna, a lovely lake outside of Rio Verde in the state of San Luis Potosi. (I say 'we" because Kelly and I shared a camera on this trip and we don't always remember later who took some of the pictures.) So then I began trying filters. A lot of them weren't interesting with this rather monochrome image, but here are are few I liked. This filter is called dry brush:


















And here is glass:



















This filter has the inelegant name of plastic wrap but I like how the fish become emphasized:




















Here is solarize, which changed the leaf colors and made the fish pale:




















And the last is watercolor:



















Nice to think of cool water and little fishes on a hot summer day.
