Artist's Comments

Thanks to those who helped with title suggestions. I'd like to thank *GoaliGrlTilDeath for the title, and here is a great quote from her:

"Daddy, when I grow up, will I be as big as you?"
"no, son, you wont be growing much more. It's the compost heap for us."
"Oh. Daddy, what's a compost heap?"

:lmao:

I cropped this one and ran it through a fake HDR action in Photoshop.

Awwh I like how it is a big leaf with a little leaf on top, great contrast between the leaves and grass! Very vribrant colours!

And what do you mean by a Fake HDR filter on photoshop? What does it do? (sorry but i've never heard of it lol)

A fake HDR action (I said filter but meant action) is an action in Photoshop that I installed. It is supposed to mimic a real HDR image which stands for "high dynamic range." Basically, an HDR image consists of many images of different exposures put together to create one image with varying lighting and shadowing. Hope I explained it well. =D

Found it! [link]

And here's the link to the tutorial: [link]

To install the action you just go to My Computer, C:, Program Files, Adobe, Adobe Photoshop CS2 (or whichever you have), Presets, Photoshop Actions, and just drop the file in there. Then when you open photoshop, in the same box where your history is, click on actions, then click on the little right arrow and go to "Load Actions." Once you've loaded the action, click on it and press play and it'll put your photo through the whole process. You can play with the opacity on the layers it makes to get the look you want. Hope this helps!!!

The only title that comes to mind for me is "when I grow up". Silly, I know :blush:

Very well done, by the way. It's an interesting shot and there's something in all parts of the photo to look at.

Thanks! I'm definitely going to consider that title. I'll let you know if I choose it and I'll credit you for it. =D
