I had a dinner party at my house and this is the hand of one of my guests along with a glass of wine. Ran the image through Nik Efex Color Stylizer. It bleeds out some of the color and adds a sepia-ish tone to the image.
I wanted some sort of writing, and since I already have some ancient recipe cards ready to go in my filters collection, I used one that was written by my great aunt Boo.
I used my shallow water filter (feel free). I use it a lot and love it. Here it's scaled to fit the original image.
I erased both filters off of the finger tips and the sun on the glass. Ran the whole thing through Nik Efex Color Contrast to beef up the tones.
This is really cool...a family/friend piece, I was trying to ready what was over the hand and a recipe came to mind at first...great choice in combining these elements...you have a timeless picture now...
I like how part of his hand doesn't have any layering. Like his fingers are poking through it. I love writing!!! I see it is a recipe. Baking me a cake? LOL
