This page of my children is based on Chris's tutorial http://chrisasbury.blogspot.hu/2013/02/creating-minimal-abstract-style-with.html - but I used an extra layer of the photo, and with a layer mask I showcased only this area of it, where my children were. Because of the high saturated big photo I converted the extra photo layer to black and white (you can read a tutorial about this technique on Anna's blog http://annaaspnes.typepad.com/anna/2012/05/tutorial-channel-mixer-black-and-white-conversion-.html ).
Finally I used lots of AnnaProducts, and then I used more and more...
