Remember this?

Kylies recent ribbon winner.

Got myself some starburst brushes from the Digital Photo mag cd. I wanted to play on an image and thought kylies pic would make a great subject.
Slight crop
Curves
Way too many starbursts
NI
Desat
Converted to Quadtone


Thanks Kylie.

Everyone is too embarrassed or too polite to say how much you improved the thing!!!! lol Seriously, I think Andi was a sweetheart to pay me this honor.

To be honest - it's an interesting version of a great image, but I actually like the color of the original much better. And I agree with his own admission of the excessive use of the starbursts.

Bottom line - I like it, but not as much as the original. :)

hmmmmm .... now if you took the original photo, added just a FEW starbursts in a rather subdued manner, then you'd have an awesome combination!!

Thanks Ken & Karin. Yes there are too many starbursts and done more subtley it would look better, I'm not known for subtle editing but I plan to learn lol. I think the slight crop helps the image though. I can't get my own ribbon so have to play with someone elses lol

You are right - the slight crop helps the composition quite a bit, but besides that the original is more appealing to me - mainly because of the colour.

And yeah... I can't blame you - its easy to do with a new toy, but you did go overboard :P!
