What a beautiful and unusual photo. I'm sure the bride is pleased with your one-of-a-kind portrait. Please share the details of how this was done. #295376

thanks for the comments. I used photoshop and basically took most of the shadows out with a dodge tool. I then went to the brightness tool and lightened it up a bit more. It was taken at a place called Thanksgiving point in Lehi, Utah. I used the wind to my advantage causing her "fairy tale like" hair to blow outward during the shot. thanks again for the comments. Take care, Scott #1723699

This is absolutely superb!!!! WOW WOW WOW! We'll be seeing it again around the 21st I'm sure!
I may be a little slow but I'm not sure how just dodging shadows and increasing brightness could creat this masterpiece...
Was it shot in B&W? And what effect was used to turn it into a "sketch" rather than a photo.
I know alot of people don't like giving away all the ingredients to their favorite cookie recipe so that they don't get copied... but I'd love to know a little bit more about how you created this beauty! #1725263
