[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my final entry in the Scavanger Hunt under the category of "Extreme MakeOver"....
This was the most fun I have had in post processing and the first time I have undertaken such a massive project! Since Halloween is nearing, this is my way of wishing all on TrekLens a Good Halloween and may the "Good Witch of Foley" have lots of nice treats (instead of tricks) for all of you!I don't have a cat, so had to substitute MD for one!
********************************************

Tech:
1. Set up tripod and camera with remote control and focused on a barrel that I sat on with Mickey Dee.
2. Snapped several poses and choose this one.
3. Cloned out all background items and used MS DI hard paint brush to paint in black background.
4. Chose soft brush, free form style, to draw and hand paint hat, boots, Mickey Dee's cap and witch makeup and hair.
5. Chose colorizing tool to shade in green color. Used cloning tool to extend broom. Cloned dress length to attempt flowing look.
6. Used stamping tool to place lizard tatto on neck. Also used stamping tool to place the planet on photo.
7. Resized in three steps, sharpning on third step. Then framed. I did not put signature as didn't think supposed to do that for SH.

Taking your own photo, full length with tripod is difficult. I wish I had planned for more space at top and bottom of photo. All shots I took were this tight and did no cropping.

Stop by and let me know if you like it! I hope there are not those who might think this is a true representation of me!!!! Happy Halloween! :O)

What a lot of work for this montage.
Très beau travail de patience Kathleen avec un très beau résultat. Toutes mes félicitations vous avez créé une très belle image pour Scaverger Hunt...
Bravo
Gisèle

Wow! One more talent to add to your list. I can see the work that went into this and I don't envy your endeavor! This is a fantastic creation and I commend you highly.

This is wonderful Kat. This must have taken you for ever to complete. I know how hard this type of post processing can be, and you have done extremely well. It's hard to believe it's your first time. Well done.
The lizard touch is cute. You did a good job on posing yourself and Mickey Dee for this composition. Looks like a great poster from the Wizard of Oz, but with a prettier witch.
Sorry, ran out of points for today. Given.

Sorry Kat, I'm really tired and can't find anything original to say after the other comments.
But you did an excellent job.. I hope I'll be able to sleep tonight ;o). TFS!

Very nice contribution to the hunt Kathleen..good PP very original to put MD in the place of the cat..:-))

Excellent Kat, this must have taken some time to complete. Of course we don't think this is the true you, and if it is you hide it well, although I must say that MD looks like he's done this before.

Ah, that's what I call an extreme makeover. I've went through your tech note and I must say I'm pretty impressed. The way you've combined 'painted' elements with your photo created a very nice Halloween composition. TFS.

Wowwww Amazing foto. I like it so much. Ur spirit are so creative.
