Light as a Feather
Uploaded: February 24, 2011 16:36:27
A friend of mine who collects peacock feathers emailed me a photo of some. I cropped one down to the eye and made the sphere using the second method. I used the same photo to create the background. I cut it into three pieces, flipped half the eye and used the underpainting blend mode. That blended the three pieces nicely. I place a layer of the hands and made the sphere in the size to fit in the middle. I placed a drop shadow around the spere and shaded the left side.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
