Images of Croatia

I had an opportunity to visit Zagreb, Croatia in 2003. Just happenend to have a friend live in Zagreb, his name is Jurica Brajkovic. Thanks to him, because of his kindness we were able to drive around the country.
What I can say about Zagreb:
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is situated in the heart of Europe. It is both old and youthful, wreathed with an abundance of green parks. Along narrow spaces of pedestrian walkways there are many cultural and art institutions, a fine blend of the modern and traditional. Zagreb is also Europe’s biggest outdoor café, always hospitable and open-hearted! BTW, Jura's father is the owner of "Argentina Cafe", one of the famous cafes in Zagreb.
The trip itself was taken several years ago, some images were also already share to some friends and several of these pictures had chance to participate in photography contests or exhibitions. All images were taken with Canon EOS 3, using negative films then scanned to digitalize.
Below are several of the images of Zagreb:

With traditional photography and photo processing the idea of customizing your pictures after taking them seemed really far-fetched. You were basically stuck with the photo you took with your camera and there was almost nothing to do to change it. Even professional photographers often takes faulty pictures. For us amateurs especially if we don't have ultra-performant camera, most pictures are far from perfect.Fortunately, digital photography and photo storage available online for free come in handy as they allow you to change a photo as much as you want, even until it has nothing to do with the original. If you would like to get more out of your photos, this article can help you do that. However, in order to follow this technique, you need to have a photo editing application installed on your computer. There are many free applications you can download online or you can purchase a higher-end one.

These include cropping, resizing or rotating the picture until you get what you want. They can be done in a few minutes and can help you be more satisfied with the image.
2. Add some special effects If you want to go a little further, your photo editor has a lot of functions that add special effects to your photo, such as a windy background and a bunch of other interesting stuff.

It only takes a few minutes and can help you change the original image at a great extent.
3. Apply filters Your image may look more interesting after applying a filter. Filters are generally add-ons that can be downloaded for free for any photo editing software. Just to give you an idea, you can use a certain filter to make your photo look like it's been oil painted. Again, each application has its own filters, but you can find step-by-step tutorials for any of them. This also takes no more than a few minutes if you have the right tools.
4. Play with colors Some tools allow you to change the color of your photo. You can make it lighter or darker or even change a certain part of it to a different color. For example, you can customize a portrait to make the eyes of the person green. Playing with colors can help you express more with a common picture and even make some changes to improve an original that is really bad.
