Maria74 Workshop Photos Given

I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with Sylvie about the frame - somehow it just doesn't suit the photo. Also, I loved the colours, but found them a bit too warm for the 'lost' feel. I increased the cold tones and decreased brilliance(saturation). Couldn't resist applying 'morning sepia' filter with minimum opacity for the mood. All with Nik Colour Pro filters.
That's it I guess.

Just to show you larger part of it, sorry for not editting it better, I just fixed shadows/highlights a bit.

This is how it looks above the door. You can now see the shape of the tower.

B&W

I really had to see this one in B&W. I also worked on the light a bit, darkening the corners and putting more light on the girl.
As I said, just another version of this lovely photo!

Here is the original shot of Tatiana, with no grain and less crop of the upper part, which now I see might be better.
The light on her face I found too flat, but maybe I wasn't right...I must say I used Loreal's 'Cashmere' foundation that does wonders, and made her complexion so nicely even (I think).
Thankyou all for your feedback, and feel free to use this one as a potential for Workshops!

noise reduction

hi Makis,
I apologize for the delay in posting this. Connection problems.

I wanted to see how it would work after noise reduction in Corel Paint Pro. I also added thin white frame to match those lovely window outlines, and i reduced highlights just a bit.
Not much different i guess, but I hope you'll like it!
regards

like an old photo

She really looks like a little angel, so I tried this:
-converted to B&W;
-applied 'diffuse glow' (Filters/distort/diffuse glow) with reduced opacity (about 20%, maybe even less)
-added very small amount of grain
-very small amaount (again) of sepia filter, just a touch of it (opacity under 5%)
-wanted to create an old-fashioned frame, but to be honest I am not sure if you'd like it.

As I said, this is just another version of your lovely photo!! TFS!
