Good morning from a warmer Hastings day. We were almost springlike yesterday. I wonder how long this barmy weather will last until winter rears it’s cold head again.
Anyway it is week 4 of this challenge hosted by Robyn at Captivate Me. This is where we get to edit a photo over 4 weeks. For me it is a great change to learn new editing skills. Anyway last Sunday I sat in the sun working on this final edit. This was started last month but I could finish it due to health issues.
For my final week’s version I just played around in Photoshop and then in Photoscape. Don’t ask me what I did. I just let the creative juices flow. I do know I used some of the preset filters in Photoshop before going over to Photoscape where I played around with their preset filters too. Then I imported it into Lightroom and converted to black and white.
I quite like this affect. It is like an optical illusion now. My son, who is dyslexic looked at it and couldn’t see the face. What do you see?
Let me know what you think with my poll.

Okay. This isn’t just about you. It’s about this challenge which I’ve been following through the sites of at least a dozen different photographers. I haven’t liked anybody’s third or fourth attempt and I usually prefer the original or the first pass. After that, it’s no longer about the picture. It’s about the processing.

I know. It is actually getting harder each month to find something new about editing. But is is a good exercise for me to learn more about Photoshop. Next month you will be getting a break from it as it is our review month.

I just love Bens comment to you Raewyn and I so agree. This week I think you took it someplace really interesting. It really does look like some sort of 3D puzzle. Fun!
