digital magic

can you tell what I changed?

Cool, or too far?

I am noticing a new trend for lens flares in photography these days, I even had a client tell me he thought they were cool and artsy! This image I specifically took for the flare effect, it had a flare in the upper right corner on it's own, the middle one I added in PS2 (they have a lens flare filter even, ha!)

I have to admit, flares are a technical error, I had the hardest time "Making" it happen, but.... After having done so, I was amazed that I love this image! What I once wouldn't have even shown a client, and would have gone to great lengths not to have happen at all, is now cool!?

So, what do you think, cool, or too far?

Fence fix

More before and afters, this one I removed the fence and cleaned up a bit of the background. It's about a $30.00 digital repair.
