Mono Monday #24

 
 


(Link Above)


Second week for me..... What to do.....what to do.....

I started with this Photo:


And this is what I did with it!

1.  Once I had the picture in Picnik I changed it to a Sepia
2.  Then I went to HDR-ish and adjusted the radis, the strength, & the fade
3.  Next clicked on the Cross Process
4.  Went to Focal B&W ~ (adjusted the focal size, edge hardness, & fade)
5.  Next to Effects ~ Tint ~ set the size of the brush & picked color
then colored....

6.  Went to Orton-ish ~ set the bloom, brightness, & fade
7.  Cropped
8.  To Frames ~ Picked Border  ~ picked colors & size
9.  Still in frames ~ Picked Museum Matte ~ picked colors & size

This was the end result:
Photobucket


Well, it appears as though I am taking baby steps...
but at least I am stepping now.
I thank each of you for any suggestions you have given me,
and will try to keep on learning.

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

    We all learned by baby steps..................I remember 24 weeks ago I did not have a clue how to do any of this. What I love about MM is that I learn something new every week. Keep playing, but most of all have fun.

    LOLLLLLLLLLLL Look at me I got so carried away telling you o have fun I forgot to tell you how much I like what yo did with the flower. Love it.

    I think the astronaut got it wrong, he meant to say one small step for a flower, one giant step for Linda? Its a terrific picture and wow great job girl, great job. Learning is about doing, and your doing it. Two hugs and three cheers.
