One Four Challenge: Week 3 July

Good morning from a cool Hastings day.

Last month I wasn’t able to finish off this challenge hosted by Robyn over at Captivate Me.  This is where we take a photo and edit it four times to see where it takes us.

This morning I woke up early and decided to get up and play with Photoshop.

I deleted the distracting background, added a drop shadow and then played around with the sliders on Camera Raw.  With this I reduced the clarity, increased the vibrance and decreased the exposure.

Then I added a new background using one of the presets – a nature texture.  I then played around with a brush for the shrift.  And added the zen border to add to the texture.

Here are the first two weeks.

Week 1

Week 2

Let me know what you think.  I know that my Photoshop skills are a work in progress.
