    Default Easter Fun

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This is one from our community Easter egg hunt (I have the wonderfully fun job of being the photographer at our community events.)

    The image was converted to B&W, then I used a few different Shadowhouse textures and blurred slightly.

    I wish this little angel would have looked up, but she was very very busy with her Easter candy

    Maureen, very cute and a sweet moment captured. For an aged photo, I would probably lower the overall level of the image, as the whites are usually the first thing to suffer in the aging process. Nice job with the toning.

    Maureen, I think the repost looks much better, The girl is a very sweet subject and her outfit makes this even more believable as an older image. Very nice work.

    Maureen, definitely better! It helps convey the sense of age, which you already did quite well. Very sweet image that has a timeless feel.

    Maureen, prefer the repost, looks wonderfully aged. A very cute little girl also I love the concentration on her face as she opens the Easter egg.

    This looks beautiful, Maureen. Very believable aged look. I might prefer a little more room to the right so that her dress isn't cut off. Excellent work!
