Gold Please!! 2

Uploaded: June 17, 2005

Description

Yes, you might recognize this photo! I am resubmitting it because I have digitally enhanced the photo this time. (I could not help myself)

I saturated the sky, I cloned out the home to the left, I took out some scratches from the pot. I also took a light wand and lightened up his face. The rainbow that overflowed the pot has been removed so all the rainbow ends into the pot.

Let me know what you think. ????

Melissa the first one was nice this one looks better.

I resubmitted one the other day and if you can have better it is good to do it.

Melissa L. Zavadil June 17, 2005

Thanks for the great comments. I was wondering how people would percieve this peice.

Thanks Kerby, when I first submitted this I was very taken by the fact that it was a real rainbow and was wanting to keep the authenticity of the piece. After looking at it for a while I just couldn't help myself, it just could be better. :o) #1481627
