 I actually didn't delete the background on this one! I shot it in from of my shower door. I wanted the texture but it didn't come through as much as I wanted so I did add a bit of texture over it.

Pretty simple editing on this one. Trying to tone it down.

-Neatimage, USM, Crop, Levels, Cloned out stray hairs, Desaturated the light colors and upped the blacks in the image.


Strange story about this dreamcatcher. I made it in this class with my mom and my brother. A woman from my mom's massage school taught it. She was an ex cop and was murdered by someone who they suspected was someone she had arrested at some point. I never really heard the final say of it all. Really sad.

A very appealing shot. Tones are great. Focus is great, and the hair adds to the image. Nice job.

Beautiful lighting & tones. Great composition too - I really like the fact that the feather follows the lines of your hair. You're really good.

Your Pocahontas ponytail and the feather in the center of the dream catcher really work well together!

this is great work! I agree with your background comments, maybe just crop it out? But you and the prop work together making a very nice image - great appeal
