Cropped and used the Orton Effect for the first time.

I think the effect is really neat. I love the before and the after together. almost looks brightly painted.

Michelle, I love that effect! She is so cute too!

That worked really well! She is a cutie...

Michelle,

Very nice.

I have a very basic question. Did you do anything else other than a simple crop to get such a nice close-up? When I try it, the image does not seem to be as "close-up"


Thanks!

Alan

Michelle,

Great job! I love the way you cropped the picture. The Orton Effect also turned out wonderful on this picture. I've used that alot on my little nephew's pictures. It adds so much, especially to a childs photo.

Thank you to everyone. This was an easy picture.

Alan: To answer your question... not sure if I did much. I remembered I cropped and more than likely adjusted the levels a little bit and I always like it a little sharper. But other than that not much was done besides the Orton Effect. Definetly nothing fancy. Sure hope that helps.

Thanks Michelle,

I guess maybe I need to crop a little closer. When I crop something like that it does not appear to be as "close"

I'll keep trying!

Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

Missed this completely earlier. Great job with the Orton effect. Wish mine came out as good as yours. Is this Abigail?? Beautiful little girl.

[smiles]

Oh,
Nice job! She is just adorable!

What a beautiful child! She's just adorable, and your work on the photo brings it all out.

Excellent job and she is a real cutie!

Thanks everyone, this is Abigail my neighbor. Her mother has not taken her in for her 18 month pictures, so I have been trying to get one for her so she doesn't have too. So far my favorite is the black and white I posted.
