After editing (oh no, its the ghost of groundskeepers past):
Brandon says that I am trying to rewrite reality. In my defense, I am not. But so far none of my arguments hold weight so we'll just leave it at, "nuh-uh. am not!" I tried to use the zoo example from back in April but he says that I am still proving his point.
If you weren't checking my blog back then, here is a reminder:
This picture was made up of two pictures since we had such trouble getting all three kids to look decent in for ONE picture. I bet you can't tell which kid came from a different picture!

Looks like a beautiful place to visit. Love the pictures. That editing is really interesting. I just shot the picture and hope it's a good one!
I wish I was smart enough to use photoshop. Bought the program, spent days trying to figure it out and gave up. I love that you put those two pictures together and you can erase people from the background. That would come in really handy! Cute pics, adorable boys. :)
I think most forms of art involve rewriting reality. Every picture in every magazine you pick up is a retooled version of what the original picture represented.
I left my PR job before I had a chance to really tool around with Photoshop, and I really wish I was more skilled in it. As it is, I can only tweak my photos with the basics. I never got the hang of editing people in or out of photos, and you've got it done pretty seamlessly in that last shot.
I love the first shot of the boys with the sun dapples. You can imagine their minds whirring with thought!
Well My parents have a photo in their livingroom where the smiles? well they may be from the other 20 takes or they might be all from that one shot?
My family pic that I have on my fb? same thing I didn't like my hubbie's smile so I asked for the smile from exibit A for Photo Z! :0
I say: Good job! I like the first photo a lot! I would work the last one a little more. The top of G's head is a little rough. Try feathering or blur tool. I think there is something else called blend. Anywho, that's just my little constructive advice. : )
Oh, I love Photoshop! You have done a great job and could probably teach me a thing or two.
great pics!
You are a genius with the photo editing. Wow. Personally I don't think you're altering reality as much as you are just tidying it up for posterity. ;) So in the final picture which kid came from a different photo? I'm guessing your older son.
You're a kickass photo editor. I love it when we combine several pics to get all the kids (mine and their cousins) smiling. Otherwise, we'd have nothing..
You never cease to amaze me! These are incredible. SOmetimes, in pictures, re-writing reality is best (rolling my eyes at Brandon - he's giving the French a bad name).
Miss you.
