I'm loving this theme!!

Here is a pic of my dh from our Vegas trip, I had just gotten my camera and was still learning to use it ( I took the manual and little notes I took with me everywhere!!) Luckily we were outside most of the time, and the weather was gorgeous! I love this one of him and wanted to brighten it up. Seems thats all Im doing to my pics lately- oh well, live and learn!! TFL

Great job lightening it up and not ruining the color. I so much want to go to Vegas!

Michelle said...

i think it definitely needed lightening but it might be a smidge too light. he doesn't look like he's part of the scenery now...like he was ps's in. jmo.

Jaime said...

Unknown said...

Very fun (vegas :) )...I like the lightening on it...good job..and hey...can't get it right if we dont practice huh! Practice makes perfect....I think it looks nice! :)

Trisha said...

I think it looks pretty good...I agree with Michelle though...he might be a little to bright. The rest of it looks great though! Love that blue water!

I think you did great on lightening it. Isn't it fun going back to old pics? I did that today as well. Oh and I know what you mean about not wanting to look silly about army stuff, I have so been there lol.

fun picture!

i think he looks too light as well as does the water...how did you lighten it? with levels or curves?

Joanne Fowler said...

Wow, can I go on vacation with you? LOL Pretty place! Great job on lightening up the image!

Well, as a fellow from "the dark side", I'm feelin' your pain. But I have to say - did you notice how much detail popped out when you lightened it? Wow, that's really interesting.

I'm not sure whether I feel your DH is too light or not - not really feeling qualified to answer that yet.

Hang in there! We'll figure it out eventually!!!

P.S. I just realized I probably sounded pretty negative - sorry about that. It's not a bad picture at all!

I certainly lightens him and that's good. It may look a little bright, but I think it's a whole lot better than the first so way to go.

you did well with the editing on this shot! made a big difference.

Sara said...

It looks great light.
On my monitor, it looks like you may have a slightly blue cast. Maybe try a warming filter, at a very low opacity.

I think you did a great job here! I agree that he might be a tad too light, but it's much better than the first!

lcp said...

Great job lightening it...maybe lowering it just a tad would be a little more pleasing. What a fun place to visit!

Lorrie said...

I agree it did need some lighting, but I think it's a little too much. Great shot though!

I think you've saved the picture. I'm also loving this week. I LOVE the befores and afters.
