Bubbles on Gerbera pollen. [55686 Digital Darkroom]
Uploaded: May 30, 2006 00:01:35
This is the close up of the same Gerbera flower that I had submitted before. Original idea was to do it with soda water but it didn't work out well. So I took the close up, then manually applied the bubbles (Photo Impact) on pollens and a bit of cloud effect on the petals. Adjustment in colors and lighting were made with PSE. It took me about half an hour to do it and our dinner had to wait last night...lol.
