Dandy Holga

Fun Theme! In CS5 used layers, Find Edges + Soft light blend, Then since this is a plastic camera... used plastic wrap filter :)
All C&C welcome.

It's definitely a different twist for the theme Steve. I like dandelions and feel they make interesting subjects. I might try to blend more of the BG a bit more so it doesn't compete w/ the main subject.

I like the plastic wrap filter on this one. Might desat the greens a bit. I like your selective focus. the humble dandelion make an interesting subject.

Hey Steve,
Great tweak advice given above.....I only learned about the holga camera the other day.....so not sure about the effect but this does work and the suggested tweaks will only take it up another notch.

Thanks denise, Jackie and Roman!! Reworked the BG, desaturated and small vignette and curves adj. :)
BTW, I am noticing a slight change in my image when switching from the develop to library view in Lightroom 3 beta. Contrast...brightness changes slightly, but noticeably. Any ideas??

Steve,
In lightroom if your Previews are set to Low or Medium quality in the preferences, then the previews are rendered in Adobe RGB, while Develop uses ProPhoto RGB. It's possible that the small difference between the two are visible on your monitor.

Thanks denise!

Steve, really neat idea with the plastic wrap. I like the repost better:)

Thanks so much, Cheryl :)
