It's Friday and time once again for Photo Art Friday over on Bonnie's blog,
Pixel Dust Photo Art. - Bonnie has a cool FREE texture over there so be sure to check it out.
This week the options were: Any piece of Photo Art or Path/Roads
I chose Path for my piece. I knew right away what I wanted to use. I had taken a picture of a Path leading into the local library last fall and thought it looked pretty cool so I decided to go with that. The problem was I couldn't seem to locate it on my computer. After searching for about 1/2 an hour I finally realized that the photo was probably still on the old computer as some of the files did not get transferred onto the new computer. I finally located the file and transferred the picture to the new computer so I could get started.
Below is my original photo SOOC:
It's an (okay) photo but seemed a little dismal looking. Yes, it was an overcast and cloudy day but I thought it needed to be brightened up a little so I did a bit of editing at
PicMonkey (Very similar to the soon to be gone Picnik). I liked how the edits turned out and then I wanted to add some sort of a quote - (Yes, I have a thing for quotes ) that would be appropriate for the word Path. I finally settled on one and you can see the final result in the photo below.
Be sure to stop by Bonnie's blog and check out the other entries. Also send Bonnie some good vibes, prayers, words of encouragement as she has not been feeling well the past couple of weeks.
Big Hugs to you Bonnie and Prayers for a speedy recovery. Thanks for hosting this fun challenge every week and for offering the great textures.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
The mid-centuryish feel of this image is very appealing. Have you thought about playing with the colors to mimic and reinforce that style?
ReplyDeleteYour photo and processing is great Ida!
ReplyDeleteIda, BEAUTIFUL edit, & perfect quote!! TGIF!!
ReplyDeleteNice boost of color! Very nice =)
ReplyDeleteI like the nice way, delicious design. Greetings and happy weekend.

ReplyDeleteThe symmetry in your image imparts such a calming, peaceful feel Ida. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your artwork with Photo Art Friday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful path and the texture brightened the colors and increased the contrast - well done! thanks for the visit.

ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying your photos, Ida. You're very good at this and it looks like you're having a great time. Nice job perking this one up, and good quote to do with it.
ReplyDeleteSnap! Ha ha! This is such fun, I love Bonnies challenge. It took me ages to participate but I love the supportive ethos of the group. Thanks for visiting me x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely path...and it leads to my favorite place! I could live in a library (self-confessed bookworm here). I also love quotes and collect them. Yours is beautiful, and so true! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThe editing of your image is very good. It seems to me more fresh and alive. But I couldn't find it at pdpa's blog?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice Comment on my blog.
A lovely pathway!
ReplyDeleteyes, your photo is much better after the editing. I have to check out that site. :)
ReplyDeleteSnyggt foto och bra text. Tack för din kommentar.
ReplyDeleteI like the "brightening" you did here.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your blog banner!
Wow, I need to learn how to brighten up things in my photos, and the quote was great. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about searching for a picture on your computer. Can be frustrating! I love the path leaading to your library! (from PAF)
ReplyDeleteI like the pathway so much....the area was captured clearly with awesome idea that inspired people like me to make one.
