Project 52 - Week 2

I think I'm actually going to make the linky up this time...wooo...hooo.

I walk my dog every day in the park and a couple of days ago I found these leaves (a pile of them) and grabbed a few to photograph.  I didn't have my camera on me at the time...I know what kind of photographer doesn't have their camera on them at all times...ME.  Anyway, I brought them back home to take the picture, even though this picture isn't exactly how I wanted them laid out, but with a little editing and a fabulous texture by Brenda Starr...here it is.  Be sure to check out Brenda's amazing photos and her textures.

I'm hoping to actually head out and about in the town next week to take some pictures...but no promises.  I've been a bit busy with work.

Week 19 - Edit Me

This weeks photo was given by Deb Duty, who is also going to be the judge.  I really enjoyed participating last week (which was my very first time) and looking at everyone's editing work...so inspiring.  Anyway, here is Deb's photo we had to work with;

Gorgeous Fall leaf gracing us with it's sunset of colors, teasing us with what's to come.  I love how she got down in the grass and shot this photo.  The contrast of the green grass and the red/yellow leaf is perfect, you almost didn't want to edit it...lol.  But I did and I hope Deb and you will enjoy my process.  Here's my version:

I slightly cropped the photo added Brenda Starr's Red Dawn texture, blending mode Hard Light 83% and erased a bit of the texture from the leaf. If you've never seen Brenda's work and her textures be sure to check her out, she offers her textures for free.
