Petzval Lens

My cheesy first attempt at levitation !! And before any comments I have no Photoshop skills ,used perfect photo suite 8 layers and topaz filters is as far reaching as my learning is likely to advance on spending my time editing outside of lightroom !! ;)

I think this is a marvelous idea, and fairly well executed. Nice blending. I have two suggestions for improvement -
1. The color balance is off. There is quite a lot of blue & magenta leaking in.
2. The background is way too light for the girl. I would darken it quite a bit so as to make the girl more prominent.

Thanks Michael for the tips, colour was intentional it is was a paint filter I made. Appreciate the feed back.

Nice fantasy image, Lorna! It's like looking through the trees into a magical world.

A fine fantasy image with an old-timey look that is pleasing. Well done. I like it- especially that such a small umbrella can float the young lady to wherever she wants to go.

Great imagination in creating this; whimsical and fun. I would increase the contrast between the face and light background. Interesting work you're submitting, keep it up.

The "Mary Poppins" idea works well, Lorna, and the overall glow adds nicely to the sense of fantasy.
