Luxy is graciously hosting Mono Monday---and I wanted to join in so here are 2 things I worked on for this Photo Idea Sharing my first is this shot of some sweet williams...they were cute..but not especially interesting....heres the original.
I did a heavy zoom N crop of the area where there was more variation of lighting...then I used color changer to give it this copper color--then I went over it with Dodge to brighten up the white bits...I framed it with a border and drop shadow, then a inner bevel-- and here is what I got..
ITs a bit more interesting...
for my Xtra this landscape
came is out of focus but
I did like it, so I used a
letterbox border top n bottom
I enlarged it, then I used
Color Channel mixer to add
a nice reddish Glow to it....now Its more romantic and warm and the bit of fuzzy focus doesnt look so bad, so I kinda like it!..I added more framing and thats it! I used Paintshop Pro 9.0 for the edit...
