HNT
I was trying to come up with something smart to say about my HNT, a clever title, but I’m lacking the inspiration tonight. So I’ll just go with the straight, boring facts: this picture was inspired by this one, posted on Vixen’s blog a while back. I liked the idea and showed it to BT, who also thought it was cool. Monday night, we had a bit of time together (I call it training *evil grin*) and I took advantage of it to get him to take these pictures.
I always Photoshop my pictures. However, I don’t “cheat”. I mean, I don’t “fix” myself. Except for my tattoo: that I always remove if it’s showing. I use Photoshop first to crop the picture, then to enhance the image by adjusting the contrast, tweeking the colors, etc. I often add a kind of grainy effect, just because I really like it. This time, I played around a bit. I decided I wanted the background a bit more blurred, because I don’t want the place to be TOO recognizable. So I separated my body from the background, blurred the latter, added contrast and toned down the colors. For my body, I played with the contrast and brightness a little and desaturated the colors just a bit.
Perhaps the Photoshopping isn’t in the spirit of HNT, I don’t really know. But the truth is, I LIKE doing that kind of stuff, and so I do it.
Oh, and I just realized that I totally forgot this week was Olympics theme HNT. Damn!
Oh well, this is all I’ve got. Happy HNT

Stunning, Elle…just stunning. Love the work you did on Photoshop, too. You look amazing regardless of any “touching up” you might do.

Ooooo….I remember (and LOVE) that pic!
I think as long as you aren’t drastically altering YOU, photoshopping is absolutely ok. I love photoshop, I can spend hours playing around with photos.
The pics are *fabulous*…. I have no idea which one to choose for my FF.

Love both of these, but something is very alluring about the opening shot holding the bra somewhat demurely. I’m not sure that’s a work regularly applied to you, though.

Gosh, you are such an amazing beauty. Thanks for sharing your talents and your fine form with us.

So we can pretend you are walking off to watch a winter sport in the other room.
Very nice picture! I photoshop too, but not nearly as well.

I’m jealous actually because I don’t have photoshop anymore.

To me, HNT is not just about exposing yourself as you see fit, but it’s also about artistic expression, so I see nothing wrong at all with a little creativity in Photoshop to achieve the final result that you’re looking for.
You look stunning as always!
Happy (late) HNT!
