111 - Pensive Trevor

This is the last image I did before going on vacation. The light coming in thru the blind was just too tempting to be ignored, and it seemed another good opportunity to play with the pixels.

I noticed here that the technique softens hard edges while at the same time blurring the colours together. Playing with the contrast does something similar with the colours but instead hardens the edges. However, increasing the contrast before the blending helps give the bright colours I like, and then I can take away the flaked, jagged edges.

I am still working on the use of borders, this one was quickly fabricated to apparently continue the image beyond its actual borders, but at the same time helping it to blend into its actual surroundings.
