Category: Selfie Sketch

I am probably like most people who don't like to take a lot of pictures. You won't see many "selfies" of me!

However, I took this photo and have done many things to it to create this image.  

  1. Photo was cropped
  2. Background was smudged using Aperture
  3. A program was used to create the sketchwork (picturetopeople.org)
  4. A frame was added in color with the program above.  

I favor this pic because it was our dinner celebration when my son got married.  

If I can only enter it in one category - this would be my selfie pic!

Hi Sally K. & David L. Hanson -  even the best programs don't have everything you need!  It is more challenging but I get the results I am looking for.

Good Morning, Sheri Sperry - MCNE® - I like your Selfie Sketch and I'm glad you framed it! It's not your usual photo and what I like best about that photo is it captures the light in your eyes and big, genuine smile. You can tell, you were very happy on the day it was taken. Memories like that need to be preserved! This is a great photo and entry!!!

Hi Patricia Feager - It is very interesting.  Our eyes don't lie.  This was taken on one of the happiest days of my life.  My husband will tell you that he loves to look at our wedding pictures for the same reason.

HI Evelyn Johnston - you can use it for many purposes which I like. These type of pictures are more unusual and draw your eye to them.
