I had fun making this one!
Camera Settings: F 2.8, 1/60
Then I used a TON of Adobe PSE7 tricks, and Portrait Professional.

Hi Wm! - Exactly! Ha!

Hi Mare, Carolyn and Jack! The BG is really my entry way. It has a ton of color...then I used the lasso tool in Adobe PSE7 to change only the BG out with an effect there. THEN while it was still singled out I used the frac filter on the BG, too! Ha! I will add a photo in a minute of the background without the Fractalius Filter.

Thanks everyone!!! :D

  Original BG B-4 Frac
Original BG B-4 Frac

1) First I used the Lasso tool.

2) Then The Smudge Tool to flair out the colors of the wall making it more striped, as seen here.

3) Then I played around with different effects to make the BG have a texture.

Note: I also didn't like my eye liner in this one. Too thick on the one side...so I used the smudge tool once again with a very think "brush" and at varied strengths to redo my eye and lashes...


Also of course I used Portrait Professional and also the Healer tool to smooth my skin. Change the eyes. Any last minute things I wanted to change.

  This was the Background effect I chose...

Then from there I just bubbled it out a bit to get the results you see in my contest entry.

Thanks Everyone!

HAVE GREAT DAYS, OKAY????

"Happy Shooting!" (As Tommy Burgess would say!)
