I would love to know how you did this, it is so beautiful.Cheryl Plank January 02, 2008
Shelly, this is stunning....Like Bonnie, I'm curious as to your technique. Great work! Cheryl #5284273Shelly L. Rauscher January 03, 2008
Thank you ladies!This is two images. The bottom layer is the boy and is in black and white. The top layer is of an american flag I took that was plastic, wet, and folded over. Being it was plastic and wet, it made it transparent so you saw the bottom layer of the flag through the top layer. It was one of those moments that you knew you had an awesome image that you couldn't let go of, but non-photographers were thinking you were weird. lol
I layered that image over the boy and then reduces the opacity to about 60. #5287077
