Hi all, I recently created this photo using photoshop to blow out the highlights, then used another great FREE Photoshop plug-in called VIRTUAL PHOTOGRAPHER to make this image even more High Key! Hope you like it - Overexposed

It definitely captures the sepia vibe. I like it a lot (although I am a sucker for overexposed shots so take that for what it's worth ).

Hey thanks so much for the kind comments wulf. I have posted this photo in several places and never once received a comment that I can remember. I was beginning to think it was a poor photo! Thanks again - jimmy -http://www.cafepress.com/mooned

I like it as well...maybe just a touch more contrast? But *I* am a sucker for high contrast.

Also, what about reducin the border a bit? I know it's not part of the photo per se, but it feels like the border is too small and not big enough all at the same time.

Hey Robin, thanks fore the nice comment. I never thought much about the border, perhaps it doesn't need one at all. I gave it very little contrast to try and simulate an old faded photo look. Thanks again - jimmy - http://www.cafepress.com/mooned

I hope I didn't come off as petty. I see a lot of borders and sometimes it ruins the shot for me. For some reason, I find few borders work unless they're simple and sized just right...but that is the opinion of one goofy guy.
