Photoshop Tutorial Quest

1.) Retro photo

{attempt 1}

This was my first attempt at the retro photo. It looks okay, but i feel like it does not mach with the examples shown in the tutorial. It just looks like a red filter was placed over the original picture. This effect can be put on any picture and it would look retro.

Because he is on a long cable and the woman's face doesn't have a lot of depth, it makes it appear as a person is simply climbing a blown up photo of a woman. I think it is both a "documentary" and an abstract image. The quality of the photo shows a more creative and abstract visual. For some parts of the picture, i think it was photoshopped to make the woman's face less "airbrushed". The meaning behind this photo, in my opinion, is 'perspective' and how you actually view the world in your own eyes. The intent was to fool the person's eye/mind and make them believe they are see...
