This week my submission for Photo Art Friday was a last minute edit. I just lost track of time and bingo -- it's Thursday afternoon already. This one could have an autobiographical bent to it. My son was an avid skateboarder. I remember well when we gave him the board -- he was married to it for quite a while. This photo reminds me of that time in my life.
I used Bonnie's "Chinks of Light" and "Back Light" textures and removed the textures from the boy. I played with it in my Photo Essentials 4 and framed it in simple black.
It looks to me like he is skateboarding in the nighttime heavens.
Have a great week. To see all the entries for this week click on the badge below.
I love the way you texturized this. The action is so evident. The circular lines and text just fit the pic.!
ReplyDeleteA great and fun image really capturing the movement in your processing :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! It's a great shot of your son, and the effect of the texture is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love the grunge effect on the (concrete) surface.
