Need LO Ideas!!!

[AfterMath]

First, look at this:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=29132&cat=536&page=1

I've been wanting to do something like this since I saw a couple of similar things in the gallery a few months ago. I finally have the pictures to do it, but now I don't know where to go. :confused: I have one vague idea but I was wondering what you more experienced, more talented people would do with it. I'm talking composition, color, title, sayings, everything. I'm thinking it needs to be more of a graphic-style layout but I am SO not good at those.

I have a little more cleaning up to do on the photo itself but wanted to get it posted for ideas. I hope this is the appropriate thread for this kind of thing.

Thanks!!!

Wow! Off to a great start!

I think the next thing I'd do is get rid of the tree in the upper right (it kept grabbing my attention) - probably by cutting along the right side of the slide. I'd experiment with different colored backgrounds to focus attention on the boy (I'd test light blue - to match his shirt and light gold - to match his hair.)

I'd also work on brightening up the faces.

This is a great place to start - you're going to get a fabulous page out of it!

If it were me, i'd extract the slide, like Kristen said. I like the color she mentioned too. You have already extracted the little boy, so I would enlarge one of those pictures and put it in the top right corner...overlay blending mode might look cool over on one of the colors Kristen mentioned. Word art in the sand would be neat too.

Jenn, I am so glad you asked for help. I couldn't come up with anything but I am blown away by the other's creative thinking! This is what this site is all about! :D
