Flower Snapshot Technique

I've been experimenting with Photoshop Elements to highlight specific areas of any photograph. Since I've been photographing flowers the past two weeks I chose them to use in my learning process. What do you think?


















Since posting this technique with flowers I tried a beach scene & think it lends itself better to that type of shot.






Here's a photo, artificially aged, that highlights a bright colorful area while bringing across a restaurant's image. This can be marketed.

Nice effect i did something similar with Lupo jumping through the waves at the beach will dig it out if you wanted to see it

I'd love to see it.

He was about 6 months old and loved every second of it!!!

That's a lovely technique, similar to the one I just posted. I never thought of adding a drop shadow to the snapshot area. I'll have to add one in my next attempt. Thanks for posting yours for me. I love to take ideas & run with them until I exhaust all possibilities. My variation almost uses the background as a watermark, using the snapshot in color to draw attention to itself. I'll bet that overall technique would make some super travel brochures or even food menus, highlighting a specific dish on a table full of food. Hmmmmm!!

Excellent work. It's great to see 'creative' use of PS - as you say Bob - this treatment can really tell a story to get a point across.

These are fab Bob! and Sammy's too.

Great work xx

Thanks Moon

Yes this would work well for brochures wouldn't it

Looking forward to seeing your next attempt

Nice work guys!
