Welcome To Dandyland
Cut out my son and his friend from a photo and placed onto a dandelion macro. Then applied melancholytron filter for softness and tone.

Julie Abston
  Thank you Sandy and Alana! Alana, I don't remember what settings I had it on. I know I chose a sepia tone and used the round shape to create a soft blur vignette around the bottom. Hope this helps a little! Thanks again!!!

  Great job Julie!
Congratulations on this well deserved finalist!
Minolta has a macro on 13 cm - how did you get so close to the dandy?
Best regards Reine

  Thank you Her! Actually, this is 2 images layered...both taken with different cameras. The image of the boys was with my Minolta, but the image of the dandelion was with my JVC GC-QX5HD. I probably should have noted that. Great observation! I wish my Minolta had a better macro. Thanks again!!
