I ♥ Faces - Texture Week

I just can't wait to see all of the entries over at I ❤ Faces this week! Textures can really enhance a photo. I don't feel that this is a strong area for me, however, I'm learning. I adore this black and white photo of my sweet little girl. I decided that it's just too plain jane around the edges and I used about 6 textures (obviously w/ a low opacity and removing it from the skin) to enhance the edges and bring her face even more into focus as the focal point.

Come on over to I ❤ Faces this week and join in the fun!

  10. Nicely done. I love that the subtle texture doesn't distract from her beautiful face.
