It’s Thursday again and that means it’s time for Pixel Perfect’s Before and After Blog Hop! The last image I entered won most favorite–thanks Monica! Monica has lots of easy to understand photography tutorials on her photography blog, Pixel Perfect…go check it out!

For this week’s Before and After blog hop I chose a photograph I took at a town event before we went on vacation in June to Utah. It’s one of my sons holding a balloon and frisbee. It was taken right before he threw the frisbee at a nearby group of police officers.

Here is the SOOC (straight out of camera) shot:

Here is the edited version:

Wild About Flower Mound Texas

I edited in Photoshop Elements and used a Nikon D40 to take the image.

    What a fun edit! It gave it an almost comic strip vibe. Love it!

    Kbreints, and with how my life feels like a comic strip…that description fits perfectly!

    I love the color pop!! Great job!!

  • The OriginalPsyn

    Very hip. I agree that it feels like a comic book.

  • zentmrs

    Ooh – I like this! Comic book is just right. It reminds me of the movie "300" which was based on a comic book (excuse me, graphic novel) and filmed with that style in mind. This photo feels a lot like that.

    I've been hopping today and I keep seeing your name pop up so I finally had to come over and see you. I love your work here and I love your blog. I just clicked follow so I can be one of the cool kids. If you have a chance, I hope you'll come back over to my place and hang out for a while. ;) http://ashleysisk.blogspot.com

  • Natalie | The Bobby Pin

    Oh pretty, love the effects and the color. Looks vintage and takes a photo that would end up in an album somewhere into something that is canvas worthy
