Come to the Cabaret!


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Come to the Cabaret!
Come to the Cabaret!
F3.0, 1/60, late in the day. My husband thinks I'm nuts, but this just reminds me of Liza Minelli. With the sun making a natural spotlight on Liza, I wanted to emphasize her more and create the feeling of a cabaret. So, I used layers to spin the background, sharpen the center, and bring back the petals and stem at a reduced opacity.

  Very creative approach, Debra, resulting in a beautiful image. Even though she's not center stage, all eyes are on Liza!

  Awesome image and PS work. Sometimes husbands just don't understand (LOL). Mine often thinks I'm nuts when working on an image.

  I love the bright color, the off center position of the 'Star' and the shallow DoF.
Beautifully done, Debra
