How did you do the background? Wonderful capture.. #280070

Karen J. McDowell July 17, 2005

It was the natural outdoor background, dirt ground and grassy at the top. I was at ground level taking this shot. There was a dark leafy object in background of the original, it was a bit distracting but I cloned it and did a little blending. I applied several different artistic filters and adjusted the level of each. I boosted the contrast and worked with curves, saturation..etc. I can't tell you exactly what all I did..I was just creating.lol All was created in photoshop. A fellow member recommended the frame. I am happy with the result and thank you so much for commenting, Tonya. #1604470

I love this and I think the frame adds just the right touch. I really like the way you blurred the background and the colors are so warm. Really great job........ #1604486
