My first serious attempt at PhotoShopping

[Grumby]

I've used it a couple of times to remove unsightly things from childrens nostrils (better than using your finger), and once to remove an unsightly power cable that I just couldn't exclude from the picture any other way, but this is the first time I've tried to be 'creative' with it.



You may remember from a previous post, I was asking for helpful techniques to get natural kiddie smiles, well these two images were from that session with my niece and nephew. Mum really wanted a single picture of the two of them together, but that just was not going to happen, so I thought this could be an alternative. I was pretty pleased with the result, and mum loves it, and I was even pretty happy with the smiles - one demure young lady and one cheeky little monkey.

Well, not bad for a serious "first timer". Keep up the good work.

Beautiful work Grumby, the smiles are perfect and the PP is outstanding.

This is great grumby. When I see shots like this and the PP involved it makes me want to move to the next level. Beautiful pic. No wonder Mum & Dad are pleased. Who wouldn't be. Thanks. PAUL

That's a great shot, Grumby! Nice PP. Any Mum would be thrilled with a work like this!

Love it! And a very cheeky monkey he looks like too.

[CapnJack]

That's really nice.

Very well done and very creative. How could they not like it?

[Grumby]

Thanks all for your kind words.
I know the PP's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction - now I feel inspired to head over to the 'How I done it' forum and try to pick up some PP tips from the pros.

Cheers
