"My big sister knows the way"

Uploaded: May 23, 2007

Description

Greetings! Taken out in the woods right after we saw a porcupine (how fun is that!) - anyways, taken with no flash, natural light, the sun was pretty harsh. I didn't crop the image or anything like that. I did however convert to b&w infrared (I know you can't tell), I went to color curves adjusted decreased blue and then decreased red, went to color variations and lightened. This is how I achieved this color. I didn't use an action. Then I added the "paint daub" filter specifying sparkle...if that means anything to anyone. All done in Elements.

Please comment and critique as you see fit. I'll be catching up on comments later this morning. Have a super blessed day!
