Butterfly Impression

Uploaded: August 17, 2007

Description

8/17/07 Digital Darkroom

This is an overlay of two separate photos in PS. When zooming in to focus on this butterfly I really liked the bokeh from the spots on its wings. I decided to just take a photo of the out of focus butterfly. To give it a little more realism I combined it with a sharp photo.

Ooooh... pretty! (Initial thought.)

Love the combination of selective focus and great colors. Good composition and lighting too. (More detailed analysis)

Looks like a winner to me! (Final impression.)
