Beyond Beyond Day 19 – Kim’s Beach and My Style

This week’s task was to alter Kim Klassen’s beach photograph.  It always feels a little bit “wrong” to take one of Kim’s beautiful photos and change it – below is Kim’s original and then my version.

I love this quote of Eleanor Roosevelt.  I tried to give Kim’s photo a dreamlike feel.  The right side is a pencil sketch idea of a dream and, moving to the left, the realization of that dream.  The pencil sketch technique is in the Sept/Oct issue of Adobe Photoshop Elements magazine.

 

My Style

I don’t know that I have a style, but I do like taking photos of the plants and wildlife in my backyard.  Below is a favorite of mine – a wild bird bath party.
