Gobstopper Abstract [Photography Contest Photoshop & Digital Darkroom]
Uploaded: October 08, 2007 22:04:42
Using Willie Wonka Gobstoppers, I created this abstract. I blurred out a photo of gobstopper candies. In another, I did a macro of some of the small ball candies. I then took these two photos and layered them together and put a difference blend on them. This gave the the macro gobstopper balls a glowed appearance. I then layered in the blurred image again, masked and then brushed in the front glowing gobstoppers.
