{summer} Sarah

When I read Rebecca's post tonight about this month's theme, I knew right away what photo I wanted to post. I used Rebecca's Chocolate Cream Lightroom Preset, and then opened it up into Photoshop for sharpening some details and working on the selective coloring.

Hannah and I enjoy our popsicles together outside on the back porch right before her evening bath. I strip her down to her diaper and just let her go at it. It drip drip drips all over the place, and our little dog eagerly awaits the droppings underneath the table.

Sarah,
I LOVE this! It captures your summer perfectly. First of all SHE could not be any cuter. Such a fun photo and I love how you post processed it! Great job! I really would love to learn how to do this post process. I am finally getting the manual thing down, next is learning to highlight one thing, like the popsicle, an ice cream cone, a hair bow, etc... Thanks for kicking this off. I love the photo you chose! ADORABLE!!

Wonderful shot. Love everything about it. Great choice on leaving the pop in color. It screams summer.

Diana, Make two layers in photoshop. The top layer is the B&W/sepia. Bottom layer is the same photo, just in color. Then zoom in closely and erase the B&W/sepia layer over the part that you want to have color poke out underneath. Make sense? It's pretty easy to do!
