It’s that time of the week again..time for Fix it Friday!

Here’s the original.

Any my first ‘fix’. I cropped the photo to only include the boy and added Florabella Luxe Textures in Allure

For the second photo, I also cropped the photo and added Coffeeshop Rita’s Vanilla Haze action. I changed the layer from ‘normal’ to ‘overlay’ and brought the opacity down to 75%

I recently came across a FABULOUS photography site called Love that Shot! Today they announced that they would be setting up a linky so we could share our photos. This isn’t a photo that I took this week, but it is one I’ve taken over the last three weeks. This is a parking meter downtown and I loved the Expired tag on it. Post processing, I edited in Photoshop Elements 8 and added an action called Drama. I can’t remember where I got the action, but I will try to find a link. I love how the action gave it a vintage, moody quality. I shot this on manual mode with a focal length at 55mm. I cropped it down from the original to get rid of cars in the background as well. I do need to get better at figuring out settings so I can give a better description of what I did! For more fabulous photos click HERE! (for some reason, I can’t the Love that Shot button to work on my site)

This week’s theme is Surprise! I took a little bit of a different approach to this challenge. I took this photo last fall when we got Bacchus. We had taken him outside and Amanda decided to get in the grass so I could get some shots of her. Well, Bacchus wanted in on the action and took a running start and pounced on her! She giggled and rolled around in the grass for a while with him and I got some cute shots. This one was one of the first that I took when he jumped on her. When he jumped on her, her sunglasses fell down on her face and I snapped away. For more Surprises, go take a look at I Heart Faces.

I have become addicted to playing along on Fix it Friday at I Heart Faces I have learned so much from the seeing everyone’s work. I hope I will be able to continue once school starts. For this week, the photo was of this adorable little boy:

Isn’t he cute? Reminds me of that scene in Home Alone! Here are my fixes.

First up, I cropped the photo down a bit, then I used the healing tool to get rid of the spot on his nose. I then ran Coffeeshop Rita‘s Perfect Portrait action.

For this one, I also cropped it and used the healing tool, but I used Florabella’s Luxe Sapphire action. It popped his eye color which I just love! For more edits go take a look at Fix it Friday on I heart Faces.

I found this tutorial over at Digital Photography School. I need more practice, but not too bad for my first try.
