Week 9 of Be Still

This week's lesson was not a new lesson, rather we took a "breather". In these images I worked on composition a little more - also worked with light (from the side).  I need to figure out a place where I can photograph a still life with light from the back.  So I'll return to that lesson. In the first image I used Kim's "Like a Dream" preset but bumped up the contrast a bit.  I also used an impasto texture called "Rumba" from French Kiss Textures.  It gives the image a painterly look.

I used Kim's "Providence" preset on the image below and then added text in PS.

On the final image below I adjusted in Lightroom and then used a filter in Topaz Adjust.  

I took shots from different angles.  I like shooting from above.

If you want to learn how to do these various techniques, I highly recommend Kim's classes.  I've taken several and they are all outstanding with great videos, concise explanations and all the tools one could want for editing photos.  A friendly community of fellow photo editing artists await you too.

I'm submitting this for Texture Tuesday and Be Still.

See you soon.
