Before and After

Last week I posted a picture that I decided I would do some more playing around with.
Remember this one? Well I liked the picture but I wished the water would have been a prettier color and I wanted to lighten some of the picture up just a little.


I ended up doing a blur overlay on it as well as a canvas texture and this is what I ended up with

and here is the side by side comparison. I liked it.

    The original might have needed some touching up but I like it better than the second - but then you know me...

    Very cool. I'm hoping I have more time to play with PSE now that the kids are gone. I've got BIG plans for all of my new-found "free" time!

    It's amazing how you've changed the picture. If you didn't show them side by side, you wouldn't know they were the same picture.

    After trying to find out how to do some things with Photoshop Elements 9, I now have a lot more respect for your talents (begrudgingly).

    It reminds me of a fairy land. The green is greener and the water is so blue.
