HI everybody,
that's another entry for the hunt. Cd collection shown in a differnt was. Ok, this is 1/50th of my cd collection (hihihi) but it shows (I hope) how ecletic I am. I hear almost every style. Then I decided to add some spice to the picture, like what to do with your cd collection. Then i decided to make it REALLY mine, so i added the shoes (HIHIHIHIHIHI). Then (I was really in the mood this weekend) I decided to test my abilities in PS. So here's a peek on my musical taste. Hope you find something that makes you ahhpy too.

take care, everybody, Stef :))
*************************************************
Work: Uffff.... now it's time to remember ;)
1. Full frame, natural light (at least at shoot time ;))
2. Duplicate layer.
3. Filter ambiance from OptikVerve labs, soft effect, opacity of layer 20%
4. Duplicate original layer again
5. Filter Zephyr, from Flaming Pear, oapcity of layer 5%
6. Duplicate orginial once more (I told it was HPP!!!)
7. Apply layer style:Gradient ovelay: Spectrum: blend mode pin light: angle 120 degrees: style linear:scale 100%, opacity 50%
8. Change general opacity of the effect layer to 90%
9. Yes, still have more ;))
10. Sharp original layer
11. Flatten image
12. resize for TL and save
13. rest because I*ve never done so much in a single pic ;))

I know a human element could have been nice but it dodn't happen this time. Maybe next time. didn't add frame because I thought image is already to much.

Hope you like it.

Hi Stefania

The cd's, wineglass, & shoes, don't surprise, but what's that sharp instrument at left for.

I like the full spectrum of colors. Good work!

Nice ideas, interesting end product. I like the choice of soft colours you've used for the background, and adding the non-musical items makes it more interesting.

Primeiro, adorei a coleção de tudo, a idéia do arco-iris é fantástica e bela, muito suave. Agora o toque feminino é primordial. Parabens por não esquecer de nada.
Grande foto. gostei

Sergio

Very creative and artistic work Stef. Great choice of color gradient and lovely soft effect.
:-)))
Vassilis

Really are very nice...good is maybe better...composition of your personal things. Different styles from Edit Piaff to Faith no More to the moody Twin Peaks, a wine glass, shoes and knife. So this a part of your life what you let show to us Stef...my compliments.

Jos
