Mouthful of berry vines
Mouthful of berry vines
Took this on my way home today. There is a farm about 3 miles from me that I believe show.
There were 4 out and came to the fence and started pulling the berry vines through the fence.
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!
Thanks Susan, Bob and Brenda for your imput on the other photo, much appriciated!
8/6/07 10:08:48, 1/180 sec, 14.80 aperture, 60.00mm, ISO 80, Daylight.

Lightened photo, used history brush on everything but the horse, 100% opacity on the sky and corn, 50% opacity on field.
Made a new canvas, bigger, draged the photo over to give me more room to paint in the top of his ears and cropped to size.
Used a light blue layer of blue multiply 50% opacity, cloned the top of the sky from adding the canvas bigger. Used the healing brush to add a few clouds.
Applied image, mask, another sky in from another photo I shot to just the sky, screen 25% I think. Used the healing brush on a few scars.

  What a pretty horse! I wonder if he is a TN Walker? He looks a bit like one in the face. Nice photo Peaches!

Cute horse. Coloring on him looks good. Corn field in back looks good. The field where the horse stands seems some what yellowish. Kinda distracts from whole picture. Maybe if you had just highlighted horse and then applied the lightining on just the horse. But then it could just be me! everyone else agreed with the dead bud in my gallery. Anyhow Nice horse I hope he enjoyed his vines!

  Huh, I thought you and the horse were having a tug of war with that vine, he won, so you "shot" him!...:)
Sorry about that, just me.
I love horse too although my gallery doesn't show that.

Hey very nicely done, I can barely turn PS on!

  LOL, Thanks so very much James, I was "Just" standin there watching them, and thought DUH take his picture with the vine in his mouth. Turned out better than I thought it would look.
I am sure you can figure out PS, if I can do it, ANYONE can lol.
I am just a click and learn person. ask anytime if you need help, be glad to try and walk you through!
