sure...I sometimes go through so much trial and error I forget what I finished with.
Its good to ahve a large history for times like that.....Post away!

[Nicole]

Yup, go ahead and post it And next time try to remember what you did

[Todd]

Well I wanted it to look kinda sureal like the flowers were the lights but I think I did the light effect backward? It was good for me to learn some things hence the fact I didnt remeber to see what I did.

This is one of those exploratory edits, wandering through the tools to see what that one will do, what if I add this, and so on. A list of Photodeluxe steps doesn't help anyone with PhotoShop, so more generic descriptions:

- Boy is selected out of first copy layer, set aside
- A layer is added of everything else darkened. Dock planks are selected and removed from this layer, then filled with light orange to simulate sunlight.
- Darkened layer is given a red-orange mask in right corner.
- Concrete posts are lightened in appropriate areas.
- Light fixtures are removed from dark layer, then first layer is cloned and colored to simulate lights at night.
- Boy is returned to top and erased in areas of shadow to let dark layer show through.
- Lots of blending and finishing touches.

Thanks, Solid_Snake

Very nice jiminy! I really like how you darkened the area in front and really gave us a sense of where the light is coming from.

Very creative Todd and jiminy!! I especially like the sunset hues (pinks, etc.) you both added. I didn't think of that, but it looks great! Nicely done.

This is what I have done.

- Picture croped
- enhanced Contrast (perhaps a little bit overdone...)
- Burn Tool on the dock
- Dodge Tool on Boy (a little more on the Head to separate from Background)
- Vignette added
- Shapening

(stupidly taken the small version of the picture, so dont bother with the quality X-)
