this is not for critiquing...I already know you are loving the leaves...hehe

I wasnt even intending of putting this up but I made a neat discovery last night, in post work, and decided to try it on a human face.

I was playing with an image of a little structure. Just for fun, I made a copy and turned it into a negative. Then i took the negative and layered it over the original. I used the feature, normal layering and pushed the scale up to about 15...cant explain it but I liked the result...so Ill be playing more with this idea.

Hi Faye, nice image but then you did start with a good subject! :¬) The effect you have used is contrast masking, a bit like dodging and burning but over the whole image - the negative image in black and white works to hold back bright areas and allow darker areas to show more detail.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Fay,

Your beautiful, but do you only take self portraits?
