2013 Project 52 Week 2 Spread
Simplify [enjoy simple pleasures]

(left side) Look up and watch birds fly. Birds are a miracle...a finer, simpler state of being-Doug Copeland

(right side) What fun to watch birds gather in their communal roost, just as dusk is approaching, calling and signaling to others to join them in their safe place.

Process Notes:
I used a high contrast b/w version of my photo. On the left side of the spread I erased the tree leaving just the rooftops and hills visible. I applied a Darken Blending Mode to the photo layers.

A 6x6 ArtsyKardz jpg is the base for the left page. I used a 4x6 ArtsyKardz pdf on the right page in order to adjust and/or deselect Kardz layers as needed.

WarmGlows and CoolGlows in a combination of Overlay and ColorBurn Modes are applied to enhance color and depth.
