Post Processing Pictures

I guess that's PPP, LOL. I've been spending a lot of time doing clean and simple processing on my pictures. You know, the working with a calibrated monitor, getting rid of the color casts, no obvious color or eye pop type of processing. Today on Shutter Sisters Tracey is encouraging photographers to let go of a little of that and see where radical post processing takes you.

I have one example to share right off. This is a picture from last October. A combination of factors conspired to lead me to a picture that was pretty wretched sooc. So to "save" it for my album and our own fairy grandmother, I really worked on it:

I don't know about you, but I'm terrible about actually printing the things I work on in the computer. This one I actually printed as a 5x7 to give to the Fairy Grandmother, and it looked beautiful. Much better than I expected.

Here is another one:

I guess radical post-processing for me goes along with digital scrapbooking :).
