Balloon Before and After

August 17, 2009, 11:31:08 PM

This was a favor for a friend. He took a balloon ride for his birthday and wanted me to make the photo his wife took into something special.

Added a gray layer overlay, did a layer burn, increased the saturation, got rid of tons of distracting objects.

Ignore the jpg crunchiness, haha.

#1 needs the blacks brought up a bit
#2 is STELLAR

cool effect.

If you can take the original image and zoom in far enough to see "him" even better.
(If you like that idea. but cant get close enough, send me the image) [grin]

Me thinks the second one is the first one.

And some great looks on that second shot too. But why not get closer in the first place?

Guys, it's a before and after.
Judging by the photograph, which was not taken by Marian, there's no way to get a "Quality" close up.

Marian, as usual, perfect, no need for anything more, excellent work
