Ok, I see where I could improve. Wow, what a difference in mood you've created. You really did a good job, as much as I hate to admit it.

Good Morning Mikie,

Very nice! Did you use a "Brush" on the background? How did you enhance the printing on the markers?? I couldnt get that done??

Kris~dammit I told you not to call me Cherly...ha!
Dad~the black & white version has a horror movie feel to it...it's amazing how the mood can be affected through different processing.
Michael~Ann, that is closer to the feel I was initially going for, I liked the contrast of the dead leaves on the steps versus the green lush growth above...kind of a poem within the picture of life/death and the graveyard itself...hmm, does that make sense?

Morning Dad... yep, used a blur brush on the background, darkened it a little too. Steps and tombstone i burned shadows (nice thing about photoshop you can burn or dodge shadows/midrange/highlights independant of each other) and sharpened a bit overall... boosted the staturation on the leaves and steps as well.

You all are starting to scare the poot out of me !!!

Michael-Ann said...

Cheryl.. yeah that make sense :) that is kinda what i saw in your image too...and i like how the steps lead you right up into the "poem"

Michael-Ann said...

Dad... that sounds like the potential fer one helluva big mess to clean up :)
