Digital Experiments by Carolyn

I'm not into Halloween or Spooky like so many of my friends; however, I did want to do this challenge.  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The tutorial provided was altered to fit the photos I selected.    The background and the doll were from Sebastian Michaels black and white photos and the bicycle was from Photoshop Artistry files. 

I'm not much in for dark and scary but did create a piece for the challenge as shown below.  Not sure why I added the bunny other than he was cute.

The tutorial for this technique followed a square shaped image.  I changed mine to oblong and used a photo taken this summer, changing the colors just a bit for fall.

For this challenge, I used an image from the Morgue file and added human-like hair along with a background.  Doesn't he look striking?

The photography challenge this month at Digital Whisper Blog is the letter M.  While working in the yard a week or so ago, I saw these large mushrooms that had sprouted under a rock bench.  I quickly grabbed my camera to take several photos as I had never seen such large mushrooms in our yard.

To create the final piece, I started with a zephyr filter by Flaming Pear followed by a creative filter from Filter Forge.  I added a top layer to dodge and burn for the final results.
