Some of you may know that I photograph (and fly) kites at festivals. This is an edo (ay-doh) kite, built by master kite builder Mikio Toki from Japan. I thought it would be cool to make it look like it was a painting on old fabric (it's actually a painting on new fabric). I used some textures and a vignette from Topaz Lens Effects as well as a grain effect, also in Lens Effects.
Hi, Kerry, I had forgotten that you liked kites. This is a great one and I love the textures and grain and vignette. The colors are perfect for the image.:S3:
Wow! does that bring back memories. used to build and fly fighters and sport kites with my sons. You've succeeded in the painted look and I love the image. If you ever get to the Wildwood International Kite Festival give me a holler.
I always have problems flying kites...Very nice job on this one. I love the texture that you added. Beautiful job!
