This was definitely a difficult project for me - trying to find two images that I liked together took forever!!! I ended up using my texture image of stacked Scroll newspapers twice, simply because I didn't like any of my other textures (leaves, wood, brick, etc.) and didn't have time to take more. :( I think they look okay, but I'm definitely going to go out and take more texture photos so next time I have more to choose from! I love the original bridal photo of Amber, and actually am sort of pleased with how the overlay looked on it... definitely adds an interesting dimension to the photo, although I'm not sold on it yet. Better luck next time!
I really like the texture you used! It seemed to fit the pictures perfectly and added some nice movement to the photos. I would have never guessed it was a stack of newspapers. It really looks very class over both photos.
ReplyDeleteI really like the blend on the first one. It looks like the strings on an instrument.
ReplyDeleteThe second one I like but it looks a little like a ghost. I don't know if that is what you were going for.
I love the perspective of the concert hall shot. The texture adds to the feel of music and performance and its really nice. It does remind me of the strings of a musical intrument.
ReplyDeleteI agree with SandiJo, the first blend is awesome because it looks like strings on an instrument or something. Also, I love the shot of Barrus Concert Hall. It's a funky angle which made me have to really look at it to see what it was.
ReplyDeleteThe texture overlay brings a dramatic feel to the picture and I love it. The Barrus hall and cramped but in this picture and with the texture added to it makes it more open and more dramatic
