Fix It Fridays ...

Okay so yesterday I was helping out at the school all day, so I wasn't able to jump in on the
Fix it Fridays over at I ♥ Faces.  

But this edit looked like a fun one I wanted to take a stab at.  
This is the original image I had to work with.


 First I worked on getting rid of the distracting objects. 
I've never really attempted this before, and if I have, 
well let's just say it didn't look so great.  But I felt 
happy with this attempt and went with it.


 And after getting rid of the distractions from the original image, 
I mess with the "tone" of the picture. And did a few tweaks 
with a second program. I probably overdid it but I was just 
having fun, and experimenting anyways.

And finally we have the end image.  Let me know what you think, and be honest.  I want to try and hone or rather acquire some serious photo editing skills, that will hopefully help me out in the future.

WOW! I'm seriously impressed! I have a fancy dancy camera Mr. Dadman got me for Christmas and I love taking pictures with it, but to try and fix or edit those pictures....I'm CLUELESS!

I personally love the picture and think it looks great! Can you teach me? ;)

Glad to hear that you love the picture!!�� I wish I could teach you, I'm just a novice/amateur myself.� So I don't know a whole lot yet. I kind of just "play around" with what I think looks good. So therefore, it's always left up to interpretation whether it really looks good or not.�

How about you email me a picture you'd like to "tweak" and I'll play with it, and then walk you through it??

It looks great. Did you use adobe? Did you take this picture. I like it.

Deserie,

No I didn't take the picture. It is supplied through I ♥ faces for their  Fix it Friday challenge. 
And I used PSE (4.0) because I'm that far behind the times, or rather my computer is.  And I also used a program called photoscape which I love!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your edit, it's really cool and you did a great job getting rid of the distracting elements. The tone is nice, makes a dramatic photo. Hope to keep up with your blog!
I like what you've done - the moody-ness just fits her perfectly.
