Jo - Great Matte Technique

[bayhli]

Hi Jo,

This is a great image and I especially like the matte technique you used. What a great idea to desaturate the same image as a matte - excellent!

Boy, sure some nice work showing up in the Gallery!

Thanks, girls.

The mother of the bride has a son who is getting married the day after Thanksgiving and she picked out some flowers from my website and asked me to print 4 x 6's so she can frame them for her son and almost-daughter-in-law. Of course I've never bothered with print sizes -- or if I have it's been squares or 8 x 10, so I had to rework the pics she selected (8 of them). And once I start to play I can't stop! But it's a nice change of pace -- actually Halloween was another fun change of pace.

Now I have to knuckle down and spend all day tomorrow and Monday on the wedding pics because I have a "date" with the bride to show her what she can pick from.

And some time tomorrow I'd better do some leaf control! We've already had a little snow here!
