Changing What's Real-Month 4

Every month Anna Sides hosts @http://othrsideofanna5.blogspot.com, will be show casing a series of photos starting with the original and then several altered by software. There will be a Mr. Linky tool on her sight so that we can share the fun.

I have done several different photos of Henry for this month. I had forgotten that I used a photo of Henry last month. This Month on Valentine's Day Henry will turn 3 years old. I felt it as appropriate to put something together to honor this little boy who teals the heart of everyone who meets him. Henry is beautiful, sweet and innocent and has Severe Cerebral Palsy.

    1. I liked that one too, but I think my favorite of the roses is the hypnotic. I lost it for a minute after I got it done, almost missed getting on here....Thank you.

    I do not know if it was mentioned but your take on the rose looks like a pair of lips, very appropriate for Valentine's Day

    1. Thank you Linda, not sure if it is artists eye or figuring out software, lol. Picnik is closing so I get to start all over again, getting photo shop elements. We'll see how I do next month, lol.
