fix it friday

Check out all the other fixes (and download the picture to try it yourself!) by clicking here!
This picture is incredible to begin with. HOW do people capture such beauty through their lenses? I'm so inspired by this picture just as it is. Love it love it!

Because the photographer wanted the edits to reflect the time period portrayed, I couldn't bear to crop out the awesome Colonial style red house in the background. I think it really adds to the period feel of the picture. In PSE I added a sunflare and a texture, and I burned the edges, trying to make the picture feel aged.
(And then I went ahead and cropped out the house :) But I think I like it better with it!

  4. Cool sunflare. I know how to do it, but I always forget that I can. One of these days, I'll have to try to incorporate a sunflare in my photos. I'm also working on trying to get them into my photos naturally. (It's not going so good.) :)

  5. I like the first one because I liked the old house. But it is all about opinion! :D

    I like that you added a texture. I considered doing the same but didn't want to go searching for one this week. I think the texture you applied is perfect for this photo

  8. I really like the vintage feel of the photo, and I like that you kept the house a part of the whole composition of the edit. Very nice. Thanks for sharing! I just started a new photography blog thanks to your blog and other inspiration photography blogs and the team at I ♥ Faces. I hope you can stop by and check it out! :) http://abvphotography.blogspot.com

  9. I thought the SAME THING about the house. Great job! I love the color you used. Even though I thought the same thing, I went ahead and cropped it out. I do LOVE the look of it kept in though!

  13. I agree, I like the house in the photo. It completes or adds to the story of the photo.

    Will you post a tutorial on how you did the sunflare and textures, and maybe some of your edits. You've got some mad editing skills, girl, not to mention photo skills.

    I like your new blog! I need you to make me a cool logo!
