New Photoshop Creation

It was Time again to transform a Picture. I didn't got the Idea myself :-)...my dear Husband told me to try to change this Picture. He loved Oz's Jump from the Ship.
It took me 1 1/2 Hours to create this. The most difeclt thing to do was to get the other kids away from the Image and restore the Woodwork on the ship.

This is the Original Picture

starting to get away that Boy with the "Healing Brush Tool"

Boy is nearly gone

Girl in purple is always nearly gone and started to make Oz and the Ship a separate Layer with the help of the "quick selection tool". I added the second Picture behind the cut out Layer.

I made that second Picture Bigger, added a lens Blur to it in the back. I also took away all the rest of the remaining kids. That top part of the ship was the hardest part to restore. I had to paint the railing in.

At last I tuned the color a bit and added a more Natural Lens vignette to it.

Bristol Renaissance Faire 2011...first Visit

Finally! The Renaissance Faire is back!!! We went on opening weekend on Sunday! It was a very hot day! The sun was shining and the heat slowed us down with walking around. But we had a blast! We stayed at the Kids Kingdom longer this year! Oz had fun playing Pirate on the Pirate Ship! I could not keep my camera off of Oz! He just looked so awesome in his Pirate Costume! Odin was Robin Hood this Year...or a Green Goblin...we don't really know ;-)
Many People thought we were a Pirate Family! That was a fun surprise! I like it!
I didn't get a lot of new stuff to photograph. I just love The Moonie show! And the Flight of the Raptor is always very challenging to try to photograph. And of course the Fairies!!! Just love them! I had to take Pictures of those again!
We will be going back to the Faire soon. I will be trying to capture new Things.

Oz's New Costume
The 4 year old Captain Jack Sparrow. He wanted to be Jack this year...so we bought a Costume for him. I didn't know what to expect! But OMG I nearly lost it when I saw him all dressed up! I was like! You look look Jack!!!! OMG!!! You really look like him...brown eyes and just his face and the dark hair. I could not believe my eyes! Ha ha ha ha ha
