Texture Thursday


ginacollage

Okay So for today's Texture Thursday I wanted to show you when you add texture how much more it gives to the photo. As you can see with the before shot it was good but not great. I wanted to have more depth to the photo.
So I first clean it up (contrast levels etc.) then I added 2 or 3 different textures erased them over her face and clothes. I then used the bakery action from coffeshop. This action softens the colors, face etc.
I reduced any noise then sharpened it and was done. I think its much better now don't you?

    Hi, in my first entry I took Texture Thursday literally and just showed texture. I might get more confident and add texture with an editing program next time! Have a beautiful day.

    Love your edit by the way. xxx

    Okay, so I absolutely love the edit with the added textures. But I love the fading reflection even more! How did you do that?! :)

    I like the color on the little cutie pie better in the first one. But, I like the texture of the landscape better in the second one.

    I really love the process. I love how soft the face is, so I will be checking out the bakery action. I don't think I have seen that one before, so thanks for sharing.

    You should consider linking up Mr. Wyatt with the Quarterly Top 5 http://ambocullum.blogspot.com/2011/03/march-quarterly-top-5-link-up-and-give.html
