Fix-It Friday (#4)

I participated in Fix-It Friday #1, sponsored by i Y faces. Due to my boys' surgeries and recoveries, I missed Fix-It Friday #2 and #3, so here I am back for Fix-It Friday #4.



I enjoy the concept of Fix-It Friday. It is an opportunity to take a photograph, usually professionally taken, show off one's post production skills, and receive feedback and positive ciritcism in an effort to hone one's post production skills even further.

The original (SOOC) is the color photo in the bottom left hand corner of the collage and my version, post-production, is the black&white.

As a side note on this TGIF, this is my 250th post....WooHoo!!

Fix-It Friday (#1)

The ladies at i Y faces, have decided to host a weekly posting, Fix-It Friday, where they post a picture that demonstrates errors in photography that could be improved using post produciton techniques. They, then, ask their readers to use their own personal techniques to improve the picture.
Below, you will see this week's picture, redhead beauty. Their 'before' picture is on the left and my 'after' (post production) picture is on the right. Post production (tweaking of imperfect pictures) is one of my favorite, newly-learned aspects of photography.






No, I do not know her and what a brave soul she is to now be plastered all over the blogging world. Besides having a terrific subject (isn't she gorgeous), tell me how I did...
