I did a
self portrait a couple of months ago and wanted to try tweaking it a little - cloning out the pictures in the background, but then as life has it. I got busy with other things. Well, I finally played with it and I decided that I really like the original better. (Part of the reason, is I don't remember all the steps I took in processing it - as usual I'm blissfully stumbling through the program)
Here is the result and the SOOC shot.

At the same time I also reworked an older
picture of Harrison using textures , here is the SOOC shot.

It's pretty clear that I love playing with the post-processing of my pictures, it's one of my crative outlets. The original pictures were OK but not great. I love the fun results.
No new picture for today because we're out taking pictures and need to do some downloading!
Check out
Land of K.A. for more before and after!
