Description

This was done from one exposure and a duplicate of it. I wanted to create more of a halo effect around the flower so after defocusing the image, I increased the size of the image to 110% before overlaying the image on the in focus photo. I changed to opacity to 70% on the top layer and did some small adjustments using curves and saturation. The green background is grass behind the flower. The original photo was taken with a shallow depth of field.

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.
