Christmas in the Heart

It's Christmas in the Heart

This is my submission for Day 4 of the "12 Days of Textures" at Kim Klassen's blog. The texture today is called "Edward"...I used it first in Soft Light mode at 100% and then with Multiply at 100%. The backdrop is actually a piece of cardboard from a shipping box. I need to start learning indoor photography, and finding the proper backgrounds for my image are a challenge. Any tips or advice are warmly welcomed! I liked this quote by W.T. Ellis, so I added it to my image. Have a good day, everyone...take a few minutes to just stop and breathe during this hectic holiday season. (I need to heed this advice myself, which is why I typed it out in the hopes it would register in my brain!)

  2. This IS wonderful. Very crisp and clear, warm, and you could not have picked a better quote. Simply beautiful.

  3. Glad to hear someone else uses packing boxes as backgrounds! Once I even used my pajamas as a backdrop . . . anything goes! I LOVE this image! You managed to photograph the Santa without harsh shadows, place him kindly off center, and the quote is perfect,too! I love how Kim's textures add so much interest to the background.Thanks for sharing.
