Playing with Texture
My in-laws were here visiting us the last week or so and while they were here I snapped this sweet picture of my mother-in-law right after she had put little Carter to sleep. The drool was just starting to escape from his little mouth. I don't like that my distracting shadow is showing in the background, but overall I like the image the way it is.
I still decided to try something new. I thought the background was a little plain so I decided to jazz it up a bit with a fancy floral texture that I think suits her well, and give it a more timeless look that captures this sweet moment.
What do you think? Is it too much? Do you like it? Hate it? Do you like the original better?

aw. i love love love it!
p.s. did you get my message about your camera?
I love the texture in the background, but it is distracting on Carter and your mother-in-law. I would take an eraser (or if you are using layer masks, take a brush) and erase the pattern from on top of them. That will make them pop out from the background a little more as well. And now I have to know, of course, where you got the texture from in the first place :) Share, please!
You do great work! Scanning through your pics, I thought they were all fabulous! Tell the Tuitas congrats for me, too!
she looks great. :-)
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE TEXTURE... it took a couple times looking at the picture to see the "texture" behind your MIL, maybe a touch strong there, but love the effect it gives the overall picture... GREAT JOB! and yes where did you get that texture!
Kim, thanks for your comment, compliment, and input! The texture came from Rita at coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com. She has a few fun texture sets!
