a born goof ;p

teenagers will be... goofy!

my third boy... and another one for my push challenge set by Anita (@neatz)... Anita suggested i take a silhouette of one of my boys and set it against a psychedelic colour background taken from a kaleidoscope of one of my photos or a piece of fabric or a painted backdrop - whatever comes to mind... and this could be done in post processing...

an explanation for how i got the silhouette shot is in my write up from a couple days ago...

the background in this one was created in PS... i created a new white layer and applied the half tone filter, turned it 90 degrees, then applied the polar coordinates filter... added a hue / colourization layer for the colour purple, placed it on top of the silhouette with the centre around his head... and then used the darken blend mode (and yeah - i know that sounds like a lot, but walk thru it a couple times and you'll see what i mean)...

:)

[Call me Joe]

So loving this POP series- so 60's (?), fav!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I hear James Bond music playing in the background...

[Kareen King]

Super cool shot and clarity. Fav.

[Sheralee S]

So effective, I bet he loves it!

[Anita Russell]

You have really excelled at these. I hope you also enjoyed them. You havre mastered superb silhouetting and awesome composition onto these interesting backgrounds.
I hope you frame the three and hang them up together in frames. Then take a photo to show me. Great after weeks of bad responses in Get Pushed to get such quality and such a positive response. Makes it all worthwhile.

[Islandgirl]

What cool silhouettes!!
Do you boys like them?
FAV

[☠northy]

@neatz thank you so much for the challenge Anita... and for the response to it :) this has definitely been one of my favourite pushes ever!

@radiogirl tx! the older one likes his, i think... at least, he took a picture of it with his phone to show his friends... presumably because he thought it was cool although, who knows when it comes to teenagers... ;p

[Francoise]

very cool. Now I've got in mind a sort of paper-cutting (you know, those paper cuts that swiss mountain people sit for hours cutting during the long cold winters) family portrait in silhouette inspired by these shots.

[☠northy]

@francoise sounds really cool! tag me when you do one :)

[Simply Amanda]

Your series is fabulously fun! Fav!!~!

[Ukandie!]

This series of shot are fantastic, a huge fav for all three. Thank you so much for sharing how you did these.

[Bill Fenske]

You are so totally rocking these Mira

[Liz Hammond]
