Here comes Week 2 of February One Four Challenge and by now most of you either participate or know about it. It is a very fun challenge where we process one image in four different ways over four weeks.
Couple of weeks ago I edited one of my old images for another challenge AfterBeforeFriday and in my wanderings I created something that could be used as a cover image for a children’s book. You can see that image on the right of this post, it is February’s Photo of the Month. For this week I decided to go the same, crazy road.
Editing was very simple, a little bit of cropping and adjusting the angle, turning all the original yellow into lilac and as a final touch adding a space effect that gave me this magical “twinkle, twinkle little star” feeling. I used PixlrExpress and PicMonkey free online editing programs.
I should really write some crazy, fantasy adventure for kids and illustrate it with my own work. 😀

LOVE this!! And, yes you need to start writing…or maybe it can just be a picture book where the imagination comes up with the story. This image tells a beautiful story all on its own!

I love this image! Absolutely wonderful. 😀 I like the use of the blue tones as much as the addition of the light beams and stars. Great job. 🙂

I really like this, as if there is a romantic disco taking place beyond the gate.

This is excellent! I think it would make for great content in a children’s story. The effect is so magical, I can just imagine a full moon out on this night and someone standing at that gate peering up at the light in awe and wonder. I love the colors you went with here as well. Well done! 😀

The blues/lilac is a much better tone and feel (of course, I love blueish images). I don’t think it has to be a children’s story… I’d read a story about fairys! 😀
