A photograph taken in my garden 30th Sept with a 100mm macro lens, cropped slightly and two textures added, blending mode at Overlay, with the texture taken off the wings slightly.
A snip taken showing the layers used, and below the original image opened in photoshop.
I used a shallow depth of field with the intention of blurring the background and even part of the wings. It is a reasonable image of a butterfly but I wouldn't call it art, since it is just a simple representation of the object.
After adding textures and blending I feel it is getting somewhere near an art work.
Hi
ReplyDeleteGreat technique, good practice image, can you try this technique on your themes and see which it suits the most, maybe the landscapes would be better and we find a slightly different approach for the nature ones.
