"PAD Workshop Week 2"
OK, This is not "my" shot for the day, but it is what I worked on tonight with respect to my photography hobby. This shot was posted as the PAD workshop at Patrick's site (vixeyswillie).
I took a shot at it, and really like what I came up with. The simple part was getting rid of the background. I painted over the background with white on a new layer, then cleaned up the edges with a soft edged eraser. I didn't like the way the baby on the right had his arm cut off at the edge of the photo. It took about four hours, but I was able to create the right side of the photo by cloning different areas in the photo. I had to recreate the baby's arm, and the mother's arm and leg. That was a pretty tough task, but I did it!! I also did a little dodging and burning, and some spot edits. Now it is time to go to bed!!!!! Goodnight to all!
