May 08 Finalist
Reworked and Resubmitted
Happy Birthday to Bob Hall,
I hope you have a AWSOME birthday!
Bob was one of the first people I met here at BP and taught me MANY new things.
He is a VERY special friend, and is willing to help ANYONE with questions.
Your a true contributor to BP land.
Bob taught me how to do High Key and challenged me to redo this Photo of Barney,
so I have been saving it for his Birthday.
I hope I did ya proud!
Also wishing EVERYONE a Happy Memorial Day!
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!!!
I will try to comment as able, my shoulder is not feeling to well right now.
Thanks so very much to those of you making comments when I can not keep up right now,
I am one handed typing, so comment's will be shorter just so I can at least try and comment.
I so appriciate your support and understanding!

Beautiful high key image, Nancy!! #5980145Nancy (Peaches) Harker May 26, 2008
Thanks so very very much EVERYBODY, I really appriciate the wonderful comment's and support!JoAnn, I did paint the BG white to start, then I added a layer of white over the whole photo, can't remember the opacity, maybe like 35% - 70% and used the clone tool and history brush at different opacities over Barney, it softened his fur up and lightened him.
You can do a search on google for High Key, be easier than me trying to explain it right now, as It would take me to long to type.
Kitty, NO BLACK BALLING LOL, I am being VERY careful as NOT to over do the commenting and being on the PC right now. I am babying my arm, resting it on a pillow, NOT using it as much as possible!

Peaches- Good evening my friend. Barney is as good looking as he ever was. I sure do miss the good old days when he always had to go for a ride with me. I don't understand the concept of high key or how it works. But from the high key I have seen, I love what it does to a photo and the look it has. This one of Barney is no exception. Wonderful look and presentation.Nancy (Peaches) Harker May 29, 2008
Patrick and Frank, thank you both so very very much for your ever so kind comment's and well wishes, I truely appriciate them so much, you both made me smile ear to ear.Patrick you are right, it is painful, I tore it in two places. I truely hope it heals FAST so I can play some golf this summer.
Frank Barney still goes for rides everyday, goes to town with Greg to get lottery tickest and a treat. He is a spoied boy LOL!
Have a super night to you both!! #5994920
