Description Photo taken April 27, 2005
Photo-editing finished April 8, 2006

Another beautiful spring day, and another photo-shoot around the yard. I experimented taking photos of myself, and I absolutely loved this one. I had a lot of fun with it.

About a week ago, I decided to experiment with photo-editing techniques, and I chose this photograph for one of them. I altered the contrast, created a soft focus, changed the image to grayscale, left a faded coloring on the dogwood flower, and cropped the image. Technically, this could be a Photo manipulation, but it fit better under the Photography section. Regardless, I love how it turned out.

Self-Portrait. Edited in Paint Shop Pro 8.

It's such a portrait showing off beauty and innocence in many different ways!

Coolio! Love it, Sapphira. Did you have someone take the pictures of you? Love how you have the flower colored and how soft it feels.

Thanks! ^_^

No, it was a self-portrait, silly! I took the picture myself (I was even holding the camera, as opposed to setting it somewhere and using a timed shot; I often find that easier).

You held the camera? I must try that sometimes.

Whoa, that's so cool. Hehe, really well done! I love the soft, warm touch to it as well as the coloring of the outstanding flower.
