Well, Happy Wednesday everyone....I've been pretty busy as of late hence, no blogging. In between work and FaceBook, I try to play around with photos. Since I'm chained to a desk all day might as well! This photo was horribly blown out! Wrong time of day and an inexperienced photographer tends to create these types of shots. Anyway...I found some overlays called Texas Skies at Oh So Posh Photography...Yes, they cost but I can tell I'm going to have fun with them.
Now I ALREADY know you've found the mistake....maybe not a mistake but it looks like crap! Josh's face! He was SO much in the shadows that I tried to lighten him up...Can you say YUCK?!!
After two hours and almost cross-eyed later, I quit. I SHOULD have kept trying to get more light to the face BEFORE I added the sky butttt....oh well. This is my first attempt and I plan on lots more practice! I guess you have to drink lots of coffee before you decide on the one you like...
Anyway, hope you all are finding lots of peace and quiet in your worlds...no drama...no nothing but "nice things"!

I think you did wonderfully! So much better, and being able to see the young man.
Everything peaceful here that you Lord. :)
Thank you Lord!
Wow, what a difference, and how much better it looks after you edited it, I love the brighter colors! The face is not as bad as you think, I can still see his features very well, it just looks like the sun is shining on his hair. So this counts as a big improvement!
I don't know how you learn to do that...the second picture looks fantastic, but if I hadn't seen it, the first one would have passed muster...

Wow, that's quite a difference. That second one looks great and call me crazy but I can't see the YUCK you're talking about :)
I don't see any yuck! I think the last one is great!
I don't see any YUCK !! I just think the second one looks better.
Things could be better.
You're so good with your photography and now editing this one, Donna. The second photo looks like the first color photos from the fifties. Great! (((Hugs))) Jo
His face isn't so bad. I love the sky overlay! Awesome!!
Your photos are nice, I don't think there was much of a problem. You caught a good feeling.
I think they all look great!
I think you did a fine job darkening the sky while brightening the faces.
I think it looks fantastic. I love the "painted" quality the overlay gave the photo. I'd say you're onto something, my friend! And you're a much more experienced and gifted photographer than you give yourself credit for. xoxo
I love working on photos but it sure can give you a headache! This is a perfect photo to play with! That big Texas sky you added is awesome! Happy Sunday!
That's funny, I thought you were going to clean up the tractor..haha!
Thanks for popping by to see our water photos, glad it brought back memories of seeing the ocean!
You did a great job, Miz Donna! Marty gives it a two paws up! Practice always makes you better! I know all too well. I will have to check out that resource too!
Really nice effect on that photo! Isn't it neat what we can do with pictures now on the computer, but alas, sometimes at a price. Still, I am WAY behind with all of that! Just post whatever I end up with when I take a shot, good, bad or indifferent! :-)
