Fix it Friday - Challenge #81

Today's I HEART FACES "Fix it Friday" photo challenge uses a photo by Michelle Johnson.  You can find her photosite here.

THE ORIGINAL:


LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTIONS!

Let's be honest, there are so many photoshop actions out there, that you can create numerous variations with photos today. Here are a few of my favorite actions, and I used them on this beautiful photo.

#1 Heartland Action - by Pioneer Woman (because this photo had a timeless feel)

#2  Florabella Action - BW Champagne Haze

#3 Florabella Action - Allure  (I love how this one popped the colors)

PLUS, I added a Sunflare Warm Overlay from Patti Brown's Light Play (upper right hand corner)

PLUS, I rotated the photo 25% CCW and cropped it as an 8x10.

I can't wait to see your edits.  Happy Friday, and Happy Holidays!!!

  10. Lovely edits ... I really like the sun flair you added to the 4th one, but, being partial to B/W, well, that's got to be my fav! Doesn't hurt to have a gorgeous couple in an amazing image to work with either, does it! Great job, Abby! I also have to say the rest of your work is awesome! :) Hope you have a blessed holiday!
