Lying Around  by mej2011

Lying Around

I did a bit of a picnik boost edit, which I like on the bunny, but not so much on the leaves.
That is one chilled out bun-bun! Great capture! And i think the leaves look fine? But you know you can boost just one aspect and paint "reverse effect" the rest, right?

@pwallis
NO! How do you people know these things?! Thanks for the tip.

@mej2011 I think @janmaki gave me that little tip actually. Of course:)

@pwallis
Nice of him to let me know. lol. Are you doing a theme for September?
August 31st, 2011  
@mej2011 No, we're on holiday for much of September, so I'm just going to flood your newsfeed upon my return:)

@mej2011 I'll still be popping in to view and comment though. And of course Paul checks us in EVERWHERE on fb, lol

You're going to be on vacation (where ya going), you shouldn't on 365. lol. Yes, I've noticed your husband's fascination with locations. lol.

@mej2011 just doing a trip through the Rockies and exploring a bit of Canada that Paul's never seen. In fact, he's not seen most of Canada, so this is going to be pretty exciting for him.
You better not still be blocky face by the time I return!

Yes ma'am! :P

@pwallis
I am really tempted to take the month of September off now.
August 31st, 2011  
@mej2011 noooo! Why would you do that?
August 31st, 2011  
@pwallis
Because really, you're the only one who looks at my stuff. Except Jani, but he only looks to tell me what I've done wrong. lol. And without you, I just have no motivation. lol.
August 31st, 2011  
@mej2011 But I was kind of looking forward to not seeing your vast improvement when I'm not around to see them every day. Because your shots get better and better every day, but I think it will be really noticeable when I don't see them for a couple of weeks. Does that make sense? Once again, it's all about me. And I think Jani looks at your shots because he digs ya, not just to tell you what you've done wrong. Plus, it's working, isn't it? Every critique pushes you to get a little better, like it does me:)

Melissa, I totally dig ya & your blocky face :-) Though you really should change that picture....
I hope you don't take a month off, I like to look at your pics. So sorry if you feel like I'm only pointing out what you've done wrong, that's not my purpose. I just want to tell my opinions, and I *really* appreciate how you comment on my pics what you don't like in them. Always makes me re-evaluate what I've done, and try to improve next time...

OK then pointing out the wrong stuff on this pic ;-) Well, actually I love how the little bunny is lying there, and you composed him perfectly. Head in the middle and the body is kind of shaped along the edges of the picture, looks cool to me. Boost did good to bunny, and I agree with you that the leaves could be less boostified. Sorry I haven't shared the painting tip with you ;-)

@janmaki
Why should I change my blocky face if you dig it? lol. I'll change it this week. I'll stick around, I'm just stuck because I thought I'd be able to do one of the two September challenges, and one seems too hard, and the other seems too boring, so I guess I'm just grumpy. I really was kidding about you only commenting on what you don't like, that's why I put the lol after it. I do appreciate your opinion, I really do, I'm sorry if my joke came off badly.
On to the critiques- I thought about cutting off some of the greenage, but as mr. bunny sort of looks like he is looking out, I figured you would want to see what he might be looking at, or that there wouldn't be enough negative space, so I left it. I will have to keep the selective boost in mind, because I do feel that a lot of my pictures would look good if only portions were boosted. Really, you should write an editing book.

@mej2011 I think you made a right decision on leaving the greenage. Like you said, negative space for the bunny to look at :-) Editing book, wouldn't know where to start :-)

looks like Mr. Bunny is taking a rest after a large meal!
