About the Image(s)

Taken with my Canon R5, 24-70mm lens. F/4, ISO 100. Focus stacked 50 images.

Got the idea from another groups member who did a much better job than I have but it was fun to do!!

I cropped in on the original image, made the background black. I then put on a border using one I had on a free CD from a photography magazine I used to have years ago. I then created a new page and placed the image onto the lower left side. The easel I had to get from Google. I duplicated the image so I had eight copies. Then using the transform tool I resized them getting smaller each time. For the image on the easel I used the warp tool. I then placed them into a curve, rotating some and then put a drop shadow under each. For the background I used the gradient tool and played with colors till I got what I liked. Lastly I put a white border round the whole image.

Hi Angela, This is such a fun and creative composition! The process of focus stacking for the original flower image really pays off, as the sharp details in the subject contrast beautifully with the black background. The addition of the gradient background and the curved arrangement of the duplicate images adds a playful, dynamic flow that draws the viewer's eye across the entire piece. The use of drop shadows under each image gives a subtle 3D effect that enhances the overall visual interest.

I love the clever inclusion of the easel and how you used the warp tool to fit the image to it-it's a great touch that adds an artistic flair. The gradient background works well, though you might experiment with slightly softer transitions between the colors to create an even smoother effect. Overall, this is a well-executed and imaginative piece that showcases both technical and creative skills. Great job!   Posted: 12/10/2024 20:31:55
