Store Window?

This week, I went crazy with our store window pic. You (Mrs. Riehle) told us we could go crazy with these, so I did. And I have to say, I think it looks pretty awesome. I took pictures of my hat through a glass bowl, which was blue, being as I didn't get to town to take a picture, so I made my own little hat shop. Originally, I chose this picture because I liked the angle I took it at and the blue color of the bowl, which showed the faintest purple on the hat. I cropped it, putting the hat in the upper right corner. I proceeded to run my action, tampering with the color curves to the extreme, turning up the red and blue and down the green. Also on my action, I turned the sharpen layer up to the highest pixel degree thing, which gave my image a neat pressed-grainy look. I did not mess with the dodge and burn. Then, I ran ashley's clean, but I turned off everything except the hue/saturation adjuster. I continued and put the saturation at its highest, then flattened my image. Then I felt the urge to add a texture. I got a neat fabric one, and put it on. I turned it to soft light, but, unsatisfied, I turned my background into a smart layer so I could take down its opacity to show the fabric better. And finally, it came to look like this. I love the final look of my picture, the fabric's soft flowing over it, the amazing bright colors, the motion of the angle, and the general magical feel of my picture. I probably should've taken an actual picture of an actual store window, but this, I feel, is a pretty awesome picture. Also, it doesn't look as good against my blog's purple background--it shows much more vividly and uniquely on a white background, but one picture is not reason enough to change my blog's awesome background. I recommend to viewers that they copy-paste my picture into word or something to see it better. This is what our hatters' shoppes look like beyond the veil of the violet mist.
