I have been running around like a mad-woman getting ready for my in-laws to come tomorrow and I completely forgot today is Tuesday. Can’t wait to have some fun with this one and last week’s photos were awesome too. Thanks Christina and Laura.

Thanks so much to those of you that already played, and to anyone that still plans to! It’s amazing to see how differently a single image can be interpreted, and it’s a real treat to see all these versions of my image. My own processing on this picture was included in today’s blog post -

I struggled with this one. Christina, your pictures are some of my favorites and I feel like I learn a lot from your tutorials. PLEASE do more. I love Miss Nadia’s toes.

Used Lightroom. Cropped and used the punch and tone curve - flat presets.
Couldn’t help but focus on her cute toes^^
Lovely pic Christina!

I cropped, used a texture, ran Sweet Bakery Glaze action and added a vingette.
I tried my hand at using a texture on a human subject - I don’t think I did the best job of removing the texture from the legs. Hopefully I’ll get the hang of it. Ideas to do this better are very appreciated.
