CATURDAY ART WITH DANI: HOSTA HOSTAGE

 Dani is being held hostage behind a giant hosta in our front garden.

The picture had such great contrasts already, but I tweaked them a little bit using Photoscape Tools, which allows you to brighten, deepen or darken specific areas using your mouse and the paintbrush.

I brightened Dani's muzzle and added little touches of light here and there in her fur.  Other than that, the bright splash of light across the hosta leaf was made by nature and required no enhancing.

Then, I looked through my stash of frames and came upon one that brought out the more subtle shades in this particular photo.

For the following effect, I chose additional photos from the same photoshoot, and used Fotosrus to find the best magazine frame for the collage.

And as for the hostage situation, you can observe Dani's escape in progress.

Free at last!
