Took a couple of rainbow shots lately and I wanted to see if I could replicate one.
Burned and darkened a SP of me in the sunlight with my arms held out. Converted to B/W and repositioned the hands to be a little bit closer and give the effect that they are stretched out further than they are.
Took the pen tool and outlined the first color of the rainbow. With a generous feather I painted the selection Red. Repeated with Orange, yellow, Green and Blue. Copied layer and pasted rainbow on a seperate layer. Using free transform I flipped the rainbow and repositioned it on my right eye. Spherized the rainbow to better match my eye. Repeated with left eye. Reduced opacity and added brilliance so it was transparent yet vibrant. Viola

Every month, with our camera in hand, we go out and find what we hope will be the “winning photo.”Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
Discussions by Category: You can view photo discussions on various themes in the Community > Photo Discussions section of the site.
BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
