Welcome! This weeks Photo Art Friday is all about, Connections. I decided to share a link to a couple of previous photos dealing with Connections that were part of another meme, (Scavenger Hunt Sunday) where one of the prompts was, Connections. Before I share that link though I am sharing a new piece that I created for this weeks PAF.
Click to enlarge.
Below is the Original photo. It's a garden decoration that my daughter received as a gift.
For this piece I first went to Pic Monkey and used Bonnie's latest FREE texture: Scratched Lens - Hardlight 100% reversing the texture from top to bottom.
Next I added a layer of Bonnie's texture Dappled Dawn - Overlay at 50%
Then I used the Soften feature 30% Softness, Fade 50%.
Then I used the Tranquil effect fade at 50%
Next I added another layer of Scratched Lens this time in Multiply, Fade 75%.
Here are the 2 pieces that I did for (SHS) back in 2012:

ReplyDeleteLove the changes to your original photo on the first one. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteVery creative. Looks like you have fun doing this. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty how your edits softened up the garden ornament photo. The colours are lovely; that splash of blue against the pale pink really makes the picture sparkle. Inspiring quote from Anais Nin that you applied.
ReplyDeleteLovely soft image and quote, have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely processing on all of them! The first photo is so dreamy and soft...beautiful. And I love the birds in a line! It's not often that we can catch full blown laughter in a photo - yours is wonderful! (great quotes, too) :)
