May 08 Finalist
Reworked and Resubmitted

Happy Birthday to Bob Hall,
I hope you have a AWSOME birthday!
Bob was one of the first people I met here at BP and taught me MANY new things.
He is a VERY special friend, and is willing to help ANYONE with questions.
Your a true contributor to BP land.
Bob taught me how to do High Key and challenged me to redo this Photo of Barney,
so I have been saving it for his Birthday.
I hope I did ya proud!

Also wishing EVERYONE a Happy Memorial Day!

Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!!!

I will try to comment as able, my shoulder is not feeling to well right now.
Thanks so very much to those of you making comments when I can not keep up right now,
I am one handed typing, so comment's will be shorter just so I can at least try and comment.
I so appriciate your support and understanding!

Nancy (Peaches) Harker May 26, 2008

Thanks so very very much EVERYBODY, I really appriciate the wonderful comment's and support!
Hope you are having a super day!

JoAnn, I did paint the BG white to start, then I added a layer of white over the whole photo, can't remember the opacity, maybe like 35% - 70% and used the clone tool and history brush at different opacities over Barney, it softened his fur up and lightened him.
You can do a search on google for High Key, be easier than me trying to explain it right now, as It would take me to long to type.

Kitty, NO BLACK BALLING LOL, I am being VERY careful as NOT to over do the commenting and being on the PC right now. I am babying my arm, resting it on a pillow, NOT using it as much as possible!

Peaches- Good evening my friend. Barney is as good looking as he ever was. I sure do miss the good old days when he always had to go for a ride with me. I don't understand the concept of high key or how it works. But from the high key I have seen, I love what it does to a photo and the look it has. This one of Barney is no exception. Wonderful look and presentation.
Outstanding work
Take care of the arm. Try to have a wonderful day
