Before And After Show Pic...

[phishphorphun]

...of Richard's Red Empress. I know some folks were curious about what all it takes to get a shot with hundreds of distractions looking worthy to keep. I admit, I did some things here I wouldn't normally do. Like blacken out the background in some areas to eliminate distractions. But, sometimes you do whucha gotta do. :dry:

Before....

And after about 45 minutes later...

Not exactly Brad Pitt, Rich. But a tad better.

Whoa! Holy snot Bobby - what a difference that made! How cool is that???

Now honestly -- how long does it take to get all those little imperfections out of a picture like that?

About 45 minutes to clean it up. I admit I tried to not use the blackout method and wasted a lot of time working on cloning out each distraction and then tried blurring them out. Finally said, heck with it and grabbed a black paintbrush. Same thing with this one.
