My Image Recipe

I opened my photo in LR and slightly tweaked the exposure settings. Next I popped into photoshop and converted the image to black and white using a gradient map adjustment layer. Then I masked off the adjustment from the apples and the paper straw.....to bring back a little color.

I desaturated the reds with a hue/sat adjustment..... then I added a curves adjustment....bringing in a little warmth by pulling the blue channel down just a tad.... next i added an empty adjustment layer and changed the blend mode to screen at 22% opacity for an overall lightening effect. Finally a layer of kk_Sunday (from the 2012 collection)....at soft light 77% opacity. 

p.s. the quote font is Rather Jazzy.....

Tuesday, April 18ths theme is Celebrate.... 

What does this mean?

Your photo must center around the word celebrate....

Before you think... but...but... Hear me out...

there are so many ways to interpret this.... At first you might think.... a celebration party pic...(for me that would be tough... I rarely get out...and I am not joking... :)

Anyhow a party pic would  be fabulous... but it can be anything that comes to mind when you think of celebrate... a symbol, a memory.... whatever is meaningful to you.... After all...isn't that why we take photos.... capturing moments, memories...symbols of something meaningful? 

Or perhaps, maybe you are celebrating something personal...an accomplishment...and mile stone.... 

I've gone on.... enough... you get the 'picture'... I am sure..... 'smile'

Next Tuesday...let's CELEBRATE.
