The Dark Side

I’ve been experimenting with some new (to me) Photoshop techniques which are a departure from my usual style- if I indeed have a style. No textures, more obvious textures, frames, and now this:

What? A black background? Drama? Not my usual thing, but I like the effect on this photo.

Holy Cow! If you use Photoshop, you probably recognize the Topaz Glow filter (a new purchase), which I used almost full strength on this photo. A little over the top- but FUN!

    Nice! I love the black background. And the first shot looks like Glow, too. They look like they’re lit from within.
