Still "Light"

I thought I would 'walk' my readers through the steps that I took to achieve this finished piece. It was a pretty basic process, this time. This first image (above) had been a colored image that I transformed into a black & white image. I then added a bit of a platinum effect.

After saving the image, I opened another photo editing program and added some soft focus, diffused lighting, gold tone and enriched black (second image). I felt that it still wasn't "it" - a bit too dark and golden.

So, again, I saved the image and opened yet another photo editing program. I added some spot lighting, toned down the gold tint, sharpened it just a tad bit and voila....achieved what I desired!! Hope you like! ☺


I titled the image Still 'Light' and if you're interested in a card, or print, this piece (last image) is available at my RedBubble gallery.
