I Heart Faces - Texture

This week at "i heart faces" the theme is "texture." I love adding texture to my photos and this photo is one of my favorites! I know the frame is not filled with the little girl's face, but with the eye lashes so perfectly sharp, I feel the face is the center of the photo.


Texture is Paul Grand's, "Inverted Scratches."

Fix it Friday - On the Swing

This is "Fix-it Friday" over at "i heart faces" This is the time when they offer a photo for anyone to edit and see what they come up with. I had several different takes on this.

Here is the Original:

Fix-It Friday #41, originally uploaded by I Heart Faces.

And then my first edit which consisted of: Crop, Attic Vintage action by Rita at CoffeeShop Photography, Inverted Scratches Texture by Pareeerica.




Then I went for a motion effect with a Crop, a slight S-curve, and a rendered zoom blur:




Next I did a grunge, textured look with a crop, S-curve, SkeletalMess's Tone Texture 9, Wall Texture by Bartis, and slight Desaturation:




Finally, I did a high contrast with a crop, BW Gradient Map, Warm Grey Color Overlay, the original set over the top in "color" mode set to 55% opacity, and finally a slight overlay vignette:
