It is time for September’s After-Before (One Photo Focus) from Visual Venturing. Here is my post processed version of Stacy’s ship image taken in San Francisco, CA:
Go HERE to see other entries, go HERE to see Stacey’s guidelines for this challenge.
Here are the scrapped versions:
And check out the comics below for a bit of humor today.
Yvette? Your name is Yvette? Didn’t you ever wonder why I never called you by name? Anyway, yours is one of the images I noticed when I first viewed all the photos on Stacy’s post. I love the addition of the extra water and the piers. One day I will learn Photoshop. I wasn’t sure what the two objects were in the water until I read your explanation, but that might be because the images are small on your site. Overall, your is one that stood out in my mind as being very imaginative and I enjoyed it.
well I am HONORED! and yes, Yvette is my name, and sorry you never knew – but that is likely because I prefer to go by Y when online. or prefer my last name.
and i have to keep the images medium size because my blog loads better – and on a mobile device they can be enlarged easier – maybe I should have the feature photo larger though….
anyhow, thanks again for the really nice comment. I am still learning photo shop too – it is a complicated beast – and so I do a lot in iPhoto and with filters elsewhere too.
Oh – now I fully get it – and yes – that is kind of what I was thinking when I placed it – and here is the image I pulled that figure from (credit to Barefoot Five Blog):
I like your experiment of the photos. It is interesting I happen to like your first attempt (the last picture). I like the composite of different objects that blend well together.
I really like what you did with that photo. I’m glad you chose to go with the divers just surfacing! Love your joke on perspective! You’ve been on my mind lately. Hope all is well with you and yours. I’ve been temporarily pulled away from my blogging but am trying to catch up on some visits and responses! 🙂
thanks for the comment and thanks for including me on your blog visiting rounds my friend – and I also have a temporary blog break coming later this month….
hugs
Wow Yvette, you really went for it with this one! LOL on the huge moon–glad you shared that one for a smile. And loved the comics at the end. A fun post!
thanks so much Tina – I could have tweaked the final photo a bit more, but I try and limit how much time I spend on blogging – especially with photos like this – can be s time sucker – and so at some point I say “ok, close enough…”
😌👍🏼
