**Marko** · 09-01-2008, 09:14 AM

Both assignment ideas come courtesy of Travis

Assignment - 1 is #1 Inventive/creative use of Photoshop(or equiv) on an image. Outside the box image construction. Severe image manipulation.
#2 - portraiture of any kind

But this thread is only for assignment 1 as per the thread title.

Thanks Travis! - who is posting first?

OK, I will be first. I do a lot of ocean, lake, and river shots.

Beautiful, Tegan! And moody!

Nice capture. I like the colours and lines and the strange mood this image puts forth (futuristic, desolate, cold - just some feelings this image evokes for me).

I like this shot even better. Very warm and bright.

I may have placed the sun a bit more to the right but that's it.

You mean that you are turning my critique of the centre of interest being too close to the frame back on me.

I have to agree.

really like the second one too, tegan. would you mind describing the process that went into it? i think it would also be kind of neat to see the original photo.would you mind?

This is an edited image from a family shoot I did a few days ago. Lots of contrast, desaturation, healing brush work... took about 15 minutes of work. Used cutout on a layer with adjusted opacity.
