This is my fist attempt at photoshop, so please be nice! After the D70 meet in the morning I dragged stormybloke and stormykids along to the place we had our Wedding photos taken, and took heaps of pics. I thought I'd attempt to photoshop this one first, and will try others maybe tomorrow.



After sitting at the PC staring at this photo, I'm hoping that my eyes are not playing tricks on me, and everything looks OK on your monitors!!

I basically played around with as much as I could to see what it did, and hopefully it looks OK! (Yes Mic, I even inverted it!)

stormybloke looks OK, if a bit hairy, but stormykid doesn't look too well

I love the colour, it all matches so well together The composition is great - a lovely calendar shot.

I also love the teddy - I think I may have one the same.

Really good tone across the picture - it looks very even and natural

Stormygirl - you have sailed into calm seas - great pic and nice PP’ing

Ha ha very funny!
I forgot to add the teddies came along for the shoot as well!

I thought this would be easier than trying to work on skin tones and clothing! I will see what I come up with tomorrow!

Stormy, now what I would do is Invert this image and Arrrrrhhhh, Only joking

It's very good, subtle is the way to go, this coming from me I'm sure everybody would say Yeah Right !

Well done, keep experimenting. There is a whole world you can get lost in PS & a good bottle of Plonk Hic Hic

Mic.

Nice colour match.
I think stormybloke had a late night and is buggered.
He is utterly exhausted, well does stormy kid have anything to do with it ?
Stormy kid looks v e r y relaxed.
What did they get up to ?
Great photo and I believe this arrangement of the two bears leave a lot
of experimentation.
Very cool.

Cheers

Sorry about that, something came up Debug mode couldn't send mail, when I looked I had done it twice.

Ooopps

Thats OK Mic,
You should know more than anyone that women can't be wrong!

Oh yeah.. forgot to say; Stormy, can you please put some clothes on, and your hubby needs a haircut especially around the eyes. Apart from that the two of you look great in an excellent shot. Are your kids a cross between Teddy and Poo? Or do they tend to look more like one of them?

Stormy, Marcus wants to know if you really are Female

Love the colour of the leaves. Adds a nice and simple touch to a great photo.

Cool pic stormy. I do think that the top 1/4 or so should be cropped. BTW, don't bring stormykid to my place ever I have a Bichon Frises that makes a regular habit of ripping little guys like that into shreds when no one is looking.

Very nice. Love the colour tones and composition.

Thankyou everyone for your positive comments (and rude ones as well !). So my first attempt worked. That's great to hear, I'll keep soldiering on with about 10 others from Sunday (featuring my kids!).

Dooda, This is already cropped a little, and I think I really wanted the bears in the middle without cropping too much of the leaves out. I actually re did the crop about 5 times until I was happy!

Mic and Marcus, you both crack me up That's all I'll say on that matter...

Christiand, I literally threw the teddy on the step and my Husband chucked the smaller one on it's lap, as an after thought to the shoot, as both my kids were carrying them around. I could have arranged them in a more 'interesting' or "x-rated' way, but my kids may have wanted to emulate that with them when we got home

Sheepie, bigger teddy is from Pumpkin Patch (a Mum's favourite shop )

Thankyou all again, I'll start work on some more...
