I actually didn't delete the background on this one! I shot it in from of my shower door. I wanted the texture but it didn't come through as much as I wanted so I did add a bit of texture over it.
Pretty simple editing on this one. Trying to tone it down.
-Neatimage, USM, Crop, Levels, Cloned out stray hairs, Desaturated the light colors and upped the blacks in the image.
Strange story about this dreamcatcher. I made it in this class with my mom and my brother. A woman from my mom's massage school taught it. She was an ex cop and was murdered by someone who they suspected was someone she had arrested at some point. I never really heard the final say of it all. Really sad.
this is great work! I agree with your background comments, maybe just crop it out? But you and the prop work together making a very nice image - great appeal
