Feed me Too–After and Before!

So excited and happy to see that Feed me Too made it to both Pixels and CreateHive – thank you to both sites so much for choosing my images!

I spent quite sometime working on this image.  Cropped it first with CropSuey – then used Camera+ Clarity Filter, then I think I used one of the light Drama filters in Snapseed and used one of Snapseed’s Grunge filters.  Created a couple of different filters in AutoPainter and AutoPainterII – then spent some time in Iris blending and masking.  I think I also put image through DynamicLight but can’t remember now!  I should write everything down! 
Anyhow, below is the Before photo!

Amazing what a bit of cropping can do to a photo!
Feed Us was from the same photo shoot but I had a different look to it :

and below is the Before!

Again cropped the photo and then used TouchRetouch to remove some of the seagulls.  Think for this one I only used AutoPainter and AutoPainterII then blending and masking with Iris.

Took this photo with Hipstamatic as part of the Mobitog Hipsta challenge nominating a lens, film and flash.  Not particularly keen on the combination which was Tejas Lens, Ina’s 1969 Film and Berry Pop Flash.  For this photo I did not use the Flash.
I didn’t like the results of the Hipsta shot so I cropped the frame off with Crop Suey, I then ran it through different filters in PhotoToaster.  I wanted an edgy blurred effect and improve the colours.  That image I took into AutoPainter and AutoPainter II and ran about 3 different effects.  Took them all into Iris and blended them.  Once I was happy with the result took it back into PhotoToaster to add a frame.
Very pleased that it is featured in CreateHive today!
