Great shot!

Surprisingly this is a rather one dimensional subject- a sheet of stickers for scrapbooking! I took the shot and put it through the adjustable threshold effect. Next I added "noise" and then some "embossing". I then bumped up the colors a bit with "vibrance" and the above was the result. I was surprised by how much depth it took on from all that fiddling- but that's what I like about processing. I never really know how it's going to turn out until I'm done!

I bet she deserved it..proud girl, parents and grandparents...love the shot...great lines and squares.

...and where to you find all these processing apps? great job.
August 3rd, 2012  
@bruni Thanks Bruni! I did this one in iPiccy. I'm glad that Picnik has returned in Ribbet. But so far you can only load one picture at a time there (unless you're doing a collage). iPiccy will take as many as you want to upload and since I was going to do all my sports shots yesterday, I processed there.
August 3rd, 2012  
Congrats to Anna! Awesome August is looking pretty good so far! :)
August 3rd, 2012

COngrats to your niece! I like this, but I hated volleyball! In PE in high school, I'd stand there and say to my team mates...with arms crossed...."If you want that ball hit you will need to come over here and hit it" haha I had skinny bony wrists and arms and they hurt so much when smacking that ball around...and I never failed to smack it out of bounds and people would yell at you. Only sports I was good at were individual like archery and running.

@espyetta Thanks MaryBeth! I wasn't that great on the court but I did have a good serve. On the whole- gym was a dreaded class for me, but I gave it the best I could.

@prttblues Thanks Bev! Believe it or not this is a sticker page for scrapbooking!

Excellent contemporary shot! I wondered how you made this shot and I just read your above explanation. Creative!
August 8th, 2012  
@daisy Thank you Kathryn! I wish I'd been able to get more "live" shots but I wasn't out and about that much this past week. Sometimes limitations can actually make you more creative!
