U R What U Eat

Southern Pines NC

A little background...my Mom had a bad cold and was feeling sorry for herself, so I took some shots to send her hoping to cheer her up. The idea was to remind her to take her vitamins and eat some oranges for Vitamin C. The original was shot with my girlfriend wearing the orange ski mask seen in a previous entry, in Photoshop I transformed the mask into the orange skin texture using blending layers, one which I used the plastic wrap filter and some others I can't remember:). My girlfriend hates this shot, saying it looks like she is wearing a big nerf corndog costume. I thought the shot fulfilled my vision well, and it did cheer up my Mom! What do you think?

Thanks Lonnit and "Ralph and Irina" for the kind words! My Mom is very excited about my my photography, but I suspect she may be a bit biased;). Its nice to hear encouraging words from people other than friends and family! This is my first "challenge" and I look forward to participating in many more. There are so many talented photographers on display here, including both of you, so many new ideas to explore!
BTW for the eyebrows I simply used the color picker on the orange...then went over the eyebrows with the paintbrush set in "color" mode.

Nicely done! Did you modify the eyebrow color as well?

I think Mom must be very proud of you! :) ~ Lonnit
