Thank you to all who took the time to comment on my first posting. I woke this morning and realized how much I disliked the original background, and so I began again. Personally, I'm much happier with this one...and so I continue to work my way through the lessons!
@koalagardens Fascinating how taste can vary! Honestly, because I woke this morning and no longer liked the original, I found myself thinking that people were "just being nice" and maybe I owed them better! I guess there's also a lot to learn about ourselves here! THANKS so much for your honest assessment!
Love it! Your texture work is on point! I saw the original and I would have loved that one, but I think you're right that this one works better for the photo, but if you hadn't changed it, I wouldn't have even thought twice about it - lovely photo nonetheless!
@pamknowler The background on the first was paper I had marbled some while back... thought it would be fun to pair old and new hobbies. Well, not everything works and I knew it had to be scuttled! While I haven't mastered the right texture just yet, I'm learning how easy they are to swap out (if you save your work!) and then it's such fun when you can see what you need to do!
