KC, you're getting closer. I think you need a    /img     inside the last bracket.




TAH DAH!

[KCarlon]

I added two separate posts, neither show up for you? I can see code in the first but get a thumbnail in the second posting.

The thumbnail worked. YUK! That's a nasty one.!

Hi KC,

I think you have just chosen the wrong URL.



If you follow the leads in my previous post you get the full image.

You have picked yourself a killer, unless there is a lot of detail in channels, this looks like a good candidate for a vignette to me.

Lots of luck with it and I'm sure you will get lots of good help here.

Ok, my ignorance is showing here, but what exactly is a vignette?

[Ausimax]

Hi Kenny,

A vignette is just an oval framing within the photo, like the photo Kerry is doing.

I agree with Max. It looks like he's sitting in a wicker chair on the porch, possibly flower baskets/flowering  tree or even a Christmas tree behind him on the left.

Thanks, Max. I've seen the technique and used it myself, but didn't know what it was called.  ;D

Patience is only one of the things you'll learn here  ;D

I agree he's sitting in a wicker chair. It's so hard to make out exactly how his legs are orientated, though.

I would concentrate on the faces first, then the hair, then the upper bodies. Those are the main focus of the picture. Post your results and together we can come up with what to do with the rest.


Kenny :)
