The Morning Walk

So I took this B&W background photo the other morning on my iPhone 6 using the free app Lenka.  I played around with the Lenka settings so the original photo was blurred and grainy when I took it. 

I extracted the girl from another photo and placed her on the BG and also added the wolf.  I then changed them to blend in more with the original photo - blur and grain.  I added fog and mist, some light beams, a slight vignette and a couple textures.  Finishing up with a brightness/ contrast adjustment layer. 

Sorrow

B&W conversion made using a gradient map adjustment layer Used three images: 1 Graveyard cropped and areas fixed 2 Angel extracted and placed on the graveyard image 3 Third image used for lighting/darkening effect Additional items added - crows, smoke, flowers, dust Radial blur Vignette Two textures used and a dodge and burn adjustment layer Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer Session 3 of my B&W course.
