It's time for this weeks
Photo Art Friday
and as always we were given the choices of either,
Any piece of Photo Art or this weeks theme of Black and White Photo Art.
That's the choice I took for my photo art this week. I will be sharing 2 different pieces that I worked on for this challenge.
First up I took this photo last week of my husband playing his guitar. It was featured on Sunday as part of (
Scavenger Hunt Sunday) for the word Shine.
For this though I took the original photo and converted it to Black and White, added Bonnie's texture (Memories of Paris) and erased the texture off the hand. Then I added the Old Photo frame from Pixlr-O-Matic and finally added the Drop Shadow Frame off of Pic Monkey.
For my next piece I decided to get a little more creative and blended a couple of different photo's and a texture together to come up with my final piece.
I started with the following 2 photos:
Both were converted into B/W on Pic Monkey and then I overlayed the bird photo as a texture, erased out the trees and added Bonnie's texture, (Medieval Magic) which I desaturated on Gimp before applying on Pic Monkey to my photo's. Finally I added a text and the frame to get the final resulting piece.
I had a lot of fun with this challenge and was happy with the results of both pieces. I hope you enjoy them as well. Please pop in on Pixel Dust Photo Art to check out the other entries and have a fabulous weekend.
great pieces, I particularly like the first one - it would make a great CD cover

Wow, these are great.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy you should be! These are great. My fav is the first which you have given such a great vintage feel. Thank you for sharing your artwork with Photo Art Friday, Ida.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your images turned out; especially the last one. The processing created such a dramatic feel!
ReplyDeleteTree photos always grab my attention. I love how you layered the photos. excellent.
ReplyDeleteI love both of these, Ida! Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteboth black and whites are awesome! I really like the last one with the tree. It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese are both lovely, but my favorite is the first one - don't ya love picmonkey?!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of your husband. The black and white and the texture really make it a very special and intimate portrait
ReplyDeleteI like how you took components from several photos and put them together. Wonderful. Valerie
ReplyDeleteI really like your choice of photographing your husbands hand close up playing the guitar. I like how there is a reflection on the guitar, yet if feels like an old photo!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are wonderful black and white images, Ida, but I especially love the first one. It is composed so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteSending you wishes for a fantastic weekend!

I simply must edit some photos in B&W. You have done such a good job here. I love the quote too - "once upon a midnight dreary" works so well with the photo.
ReplyDeleteI like both of your works. A great combination of shots and textures. :)
ReplyDeleteThat last image is just magic!
