I like it... maybe. I dunno I'm uninspired. There was one where I was up on my toe that I liked better but the light behind me blew out my nose! I was working on limited time and limited memory space! lol.
I think I get angry when I don't have my way. I can't edit when I'm angry!
Took this back in June and still have done nothing with it.
Any suggestions, samples, or ideas much appreciated!

Ya know... I NEVER use filters (other than USM or Gaussian Blur) on my day to day editing. Mainly because I suck at using filters! (haven't found a good use for them) So these radial blur and lens flare edits are stepping "outside the box" for me.
(and now you probably know why I prefer to stay IN the box!)
A bit different, but here you go…
-Color Balance layer to set skin tone.
-Levels layer to adjust contrast and cool the BG.
-Light blue layer on multiply to further cool BG and tone down near white highlights.
-Second Levels layer to fix contrast.
-Duplicate original and move to top layer, erase all but mask of face to restore edges lost to highlight during manipulation (colors fixed with direct hue/sat adj.).
-Clone out red plastic on floor and fence (cut/paste and burn on fence).
-Crop to 8x10 and slight tilt.
-Slight burn on foot.
thanks everyone! It's fun seeing other edits. I get in an editing rut where I just do the same basic things.
Nick, I like the blue, that's cool! I wouldn't have thought of going that direction.
I like the b/ws too. I dunno. Still feeling apathetic about the photo but this is helping! lol. Maybe I'm attaching myself to the photo because I like the concept I had but it didn't turn out right and I should let it go altogether instead of trying to salvidge it with an edit! lol.
First off - bitchen shot. I like the conflict of the Delicate and Clean (you in a dance motion) and the Dark and calculated storage area.
Story book edit... I thought playing with the harsh light like you are bathing in the light would be cool.
Several different things on this one
Noise Reduced
Virtual Photographer - Glamour filter on a new layer
Erase your face back in where the filter blew it out
Xero Graphics Illustrator Filter (like a line art filter) on new layer 38% opacity
Merge down
Saturation -38
A sharpen or two
hmmm... I doubt my boyfriend would like it if I sprayed myself with axe! ewww... boy stuff! lol.
They all look good! lol.
Hmm... still don't know what direction I want to go. I think I'm gunna sit on some of these ideas and wait for an inspiring day.
I have SOOO many photos I haven't edited because I'm sick of it... go in and out of wanting to. I have about... 5 or 6 different shoots to go through from the past 2 months. Usually I edit right away but I was doing so much the photos built up... and it's not gunna stop!

Boy, do I hear you on that! I have to hide from 2 or 3 models at any given time because I'm so behind on editing their pictures! And yes, that's the ONLY reason I have to hide from them... :o)
