Okay so maybe it’s not a horse of a different color… it’s a horse with better color. I took this photo on a whim back in October. The horse wasn’t very cooperative, but then again I was in a bit of a rush too. We just happened to be at the same place at the same time… the horse and me that is.
Here are two edits, one with texture one without:
There are a lot of edits to this one: first, I got rid of the fence and everything in the background except the trees. Next I added gaussian blur then paint daubs to the background. Then I boosted the color with brilliance and warmth, then adjusted the hue and saturation (blues only) a bit. I also did a little edit to the eyes. Then I added texture (in PSP) to the background, just for added interest.
And this is the original SOOC shot:
I'm a daughter of the King, the Mom of four, step-mom of one; married to my best friend, the greatest Southern gentleman evah! When I'm not chasing kids, refereeing teenage arguments, cooking, cleaning, working my at-home business, or blogging you can find me with my beloved Canon in my hands. I love photography and hope to someday actually be good at it! ;) For now, I'm content with learning the ropes and snapping away as the amateur I am. :)
