I haven’t been able to resist all the blossom on the trees each time I go for a walk. So my mass of photos of the flowers and trees was my starting point when I saw the suggested theme for Phot Art Friday this week is ‘new life’
This piece uses just two photos – one of the blossom and one of the trees.
I extracted the blossom, copied it twice so I had 3 layers of blossom. I increased the size of the bottom level and used screen mode on 50% opacity. The middle level is on normal and the top layer on screen.
The tree photo I copied once and used the difference mode on 50%.
And at that I point I was pleased with the contrast and colours so added the text (Papyrus font) and saved.
I’ve already had a peek at the Photo Art Friday gallery – lots of amazing work as usual.
