After Challenge Notes: This was intended to be my impression of an old-weathered photograph, but the results still leave much to be desired.
I have entered Image Grain challenges twice. The first time I didn't really use any grain added which hurt my score. This time I used too much grain in an homage to aging techniques, trying the effect over-all rather than selectively.
I wish I was a great photographer,...just naturally, but at least if I ever DO become a great photographer...at least I will understand WHY my photography is Great, and how it became so! :) |
