Part of the effect of this lovely bride is all the foot prints in the snow have been removed. Looks like a untouched virgin snow.

A shadow picture is mysterious and while I preferred it for a mother to be, it give this bride an allure shot.

This is a better look at the snow. See how there are no footprints. The snow has also been pulled into a circular pattern around the brides gown,

This is not quite sepia. I added a tint to the B&W for a different look.

The Metalic look. Granted this is not for everyone, but the younger brides are getting a kick out of the new age look.

This Metallic look has been tinted for a different effect. And we've left the Bride normal. Sort of like the Pop of Color effect with the B&W photos.

Disembodied Haunted Mask - Removed background & body.

This was actually a little tricky. This Wolf was behind the fence when I took the picture. SO had to remove all the fence and recreate his eye partially because it was lost to part of the chain link fence.

B&W the background around the object that I wanted draw your attention to and gave it a slight Sepia Color.

For this one, the background was so busy I removed it from the picture and was pleasantly surprised with the end results. Each item is now the owner of it's space instead of the glass reflecting the rest of the room.

In reality this pony ride took place at Gardner Village in UT. they ponies were attached to what essentially looked like a a large merry-go-round clothesline. I cut my son and pony out and placed them into a photo from Wyoming where we had camped. I drew in the reins (i think that's my largest flaw in this) and lengthened the tail.
