Inspiring Photo: Feathered Flare #1743308

Feathered Flare [More Pictures of Awesome Reflections in Photos]

Uploaded: February 08, 2006 17:15:49

Description

Taken early evening as the sun was going down. Feather was set on a mirror outside to reflect the blue sky. I did however change that blue with paint fill in PS because I had a tiny bit of unwanted reflections from my rings showing. I then added a lens flare in PS and the Flood filter from FP. Same settings as my previous feather/flood posting.
