I’ll just take all the suckers. Kid in a candy store (River Street Sweets in Savannah, GA). This is so classic! The original photo was harsh with no feeling and a little yellow. I’m still enjoying the matte effect so I went to the tone curve slider and made it matte. I also cropped toContinue reading “All the candy!”

In His Hands
These great frog sculptures were installed in the Fayetteville Botanical Gardens for some time in 2014. I love the detail. The original wasn’t greatly composed – I’m missing some of the top of the orb. But it was pretty simple to make it look a little better. I sharpened it, decreased the contrast and increasedContinue reading “In His Hands”

I increased the grain on this one justContinue reading “Macy’s Parade – Spider Man”
Macy’s Parade – Lady Liberty’s Torch

Doing thatContinue reading “Macy’s Parade – Lady Liberty’s Torch”
Macy’s Parade – Snoopy
One year we were able to visit New York City for Thanksgiving and see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! We were there early to get a good spot. It was cold. We were packed like sardines. And it was totally worth it. The original was so wonky that the building behind him looked like itContinue reading “Macy’s Parade – Snoopy”
