Round #37 - 989240

[989240]

Hello, pumpkins :) This is my entry for round #37 of free20in20. phchiu was really excited to have me post my entry here, so I really hope you all enjoy them. Naturally you should feel free to ask about any of the all about me ones, if you're curious. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to put this under a cut or a spoiler without LJ deleting my chart, so I hope

I love the "gold" one! I wish that I could paint that on my face too. I like the retro one; it makes me want to go rollerblading! The mountains under Artist's Choice are mesmerizing. *_*

And I have to ask, because I'm nosy and curious and I love knowing, if you could explain (however much you want) about the About Me section? Do you like taking pictures? Do you like looking at pictures? Do you like dogs, or have two dogs? Do you like nature? You don't have to explain all of it, but I'm very curious! :)

[989240]

Aww, thank you for the compliments :) I'd be happy to explain my About Me icons for you. Let's see

[lovegingers]

Thanks for explaining the About Me icons! :D

Did you take that photo of Asbury Park?

Lol, I love clouds too! They're just so fluffy looking...I used to want to paint clouds on the walls of my room so I could pretend that I was in the sky surrounded by them (and that my bed was a giant comfy cloud I slept on)! XD

Good luck with your goals and dreams of working with dogs and becoming a professional photographer! :)

[989240]

Thank you! I've thought of combining the two and becoming a pet photographer, but that's a lot more difficult than it sounds XD

I didn't take that photo, unfortunately. I found it on Tumblr. I have some really neat photos of the murals that have recently been painted on the walls of some of the buildings, though. I should see if any of them lend themselves to icons :P

I wanted to do that with my room too! I actually painted the ceiling of my bedroom sky blue. The idea was to paint clouds on the ceiling, and then put those white glow-in-the-dark stars in the clouds so when the lights were on it would be a daytime sky and when the lights were off it would be a nighttime sky! Never did get around to doing more than the blue, though =/

Ooo I love what you did with "gold" and "retro" :D

[989240]

Thank you! =D

[phchiu]

I know everyone else has been saying it, but I'm going to join the group. I love your choices of gold and retro! Gold is especially clever and interesting! :)

Also, I read what you wrote about your about me's and can I say "Ummm, really awesome interpretation! Especially #3!"
I love #1 in your about me as well!
Thank you for sharing Alex! <3

[989240]

Thank youuuu! I was afraid the gold wouldn't stand out enough but I did everything I could to make it pop without lightening the model's beautiful skin too much.

Looking at everyone else's submissions I feel like I made my About Me a weeeee bit too personal. Or at least #3. Everyone else's is like... cats XD But I'm really happy with mine. I'm glad you like them :)

[phchiu]

LMAO! I know what cats you're talking about. :/ That made me giggle. I was kinda like "really??"
Each to their own though I guess :P I think it's cool you were willing to share more. :)
If you want it to pop more, you could try a bit more contrast, saturation, or an extra gold tint on just the lines. I totally get what you're saying though!

[tinpra]

Howdy...I love the colors/filters/brushes/whatever you used! I picked up gold and warm :)

[989240]

Thanks, enjoy them! :)
I just the basic photo editing tools in Microsoft Picture Manager haha. I'm flattered that you think they look as good as if I used brushes! =D

Taking #2 and #3 from the All About Me section and 'window'. This is a lovely batch and I like your AC set. :)

[989240]

Thank you so much! =D
