Flying Leaves

The leaves are real. A 2-image stack; the background is another story.

The original photograph is here.

Blended layers of different colors plus a touch of scattered texturing from a brush created from the leaves. A fun experiment.

Thanks for looking and leaving your critiques and suggestions for another idea, another experiment.

I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving dinner in the spirit of friendship and sharing.

Very cool Carol it looks as if the leaf is floating.

Carol,

I really like this... Nice concept and great background. I might take the burn tool, set to highlights @ 20% and run over the base of the foreground leaf stem to remove the white halo at the end. Well done.
