what a great photo with marvelous color's and astonishing composition , i have always wonder how these edits had been done

joan kocak replied 4 months ago

THANK YOU! Regarding editing, for me, it's a lot of "hit or miss" !

kooshan replied 4 months ago

i really love the texture you made here ...you did this with photoshop ? any added plug in that you used for this photo ?

joan kocak replied 4 months ago

No plug-ins, yes photoshop....several texture overlays and various brushes. The original background is a textured handmade paper from an art supply store. I like to take pictures of old walls and sidewalks and use them as overlays or grunge brushes. Really appreciate that you like this!
