~Ghost Flower~

Description

Playing around with the ghost effects. This picture is a flower I placed in a wine bottle. I placed it on the table with the sun from behind it. I took the picture on Manual, 1/60, F4, ISO400. I added the effects in Adobe which were saturation, contrast, curves, poster, motion blur and sandstone textures. I have to make my own pictures until I can find something interesting. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
