Worldwide Photo Walk Photo Contest | Enter to WIN a Lensbaby!

Here is my entry for the contest:

This shot was taken in downtown Lexington, KY. I was walking along and looked down this alley and saw a bunch of pigeons on the roof edge. I thought the stark contrast of the black silhouette of the bird against the blue sky was great.

This shot is pretty much all straight out of camera. I did minor adjustments in PS CS6.

I hope you enjoy!

IHF's Fix It Friday

This week's FIF is this image:

Here is my fix and how I did it:

Here's what I did.

Using PS CS6, I opened the original. Made a background layer to work off of. Opened my Nik plugin Viveza 2 to adjust Brightness and shadow/highlights. Then I opened Nik plugin Color Efex 3 to use the lighten/darken tool. This brought the edges a bit darker and lightened up the middle. Last, I made another background copy and lassoed both eyes. I adjusted the Vibrance of them and then did some face smoothing. I also used the Dodge tool to lighten up under her eyes.

That's it! Hope you enjoyed it!
