[Leica] Sea Lions and Fur Seals

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Thanks for looking.

Don, I am not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean processing them to look
like a cubist (or any other genre) painting? It can be done, but it will
still look like a photograph that has been messed around with, and not an
original painting.

Cheers
