Self Portrait in Barn Window


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Self Portrait in Barn Window
Self Portrait in Barn Window
As some of you know, my hard drive died and I've lost a lot of data. I've still got the drive and hope to retrieve it's data. If I can recover the data, I will paste it in later. I took this picture at the farm where I get eggs, at Moyers corners in Baldwinsville, NY. I layered another picture I took of of myself underneath and the erased the window with a low opacity eraser in PS. CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners and finalists, I'm sorry I've so far been unable to congratulate you personally! Happy Birthday Leanne Boyd.

  Fantastic capture Mary. Love the effect. Good luck with your hard drive. Seems like a lot of people having trouble. I'm getting ready to have a new one put in soon. Mine has been acting up.

  You did such a beautiful job with SP mary. It really looks like you looking out the window :-) I had my 10 year old computer die awhile back and it was very nerve wracking for the first week, trying to set up my new one the way I was used to and transfering stuff from the old to the new...Once you get it all figured out you can celebrate!

  nice self-portrait, mary! I love the old building, too. there is a ghostly feel to the whole thing, but I don't know whether or not that was intentional. i'm impressed with your ps skills. i'm a veritable beginner...
