Texture Tuesday - School's Out!

The challenge for this week from Kim is to use a 'people or person' photo.
Last Half Term my husband and I visited Woodlands Theme Park in South Devon with some friends.
This is a picture of us trying out one of the slides!  My friend is a teacher, hence she was on Half Term Hols.  Her husband had broken his foot - hence he was on sick leave!  He obviously couldn't take the ride, but he took this great photo!
I've played with it in Photshop Elements, but must admit I couldn't say what I did, except I used Gradient Maps to make it lighter, then added 2 layers of  Kim's freebie texture Granny's Cupboard.  I'm quite pleased - I feel it has definitely added something to the 'warmth' of the picture.  Click on Texture Tuesday to see more 'people pictures'.
Till next time ...

lovely texturising - I think that muting the orange of the slide means that the people are now the first thing the eye goes to - looks like you were having lots of fun

Oh just look at you!! I love this photo and the muted one is just perfect. You look like you are having so much fun - braver than me that is for sure ;0)

Well done for subtly altering this lovely photo and well done for going on the slide in the first place! You all obviously enjoyed yourselves.

Look at you!! I'm in love with this and applaud your no-fear attitude. Bravo for the pics.

I like the "old-timey" look you gave this one -- seems appropriate to the subject. And the slide looks like fun!

Looks like you guys were having so much fun, great capture.

How fun is that! Your textures place the emphasis on the people having a great time -- just where it should be. I love this image!

Such a happy photo. This is one where the texture has really made the joy shine through.
