Balsam Root Double Exposure
As usual, I concentrated my photo efforts this morning on flowers. I shot a few landscapes, but I have yet to process them.

I was attracted to the grass growing in back of and thru this balsam root bloom. I shot two different exposures, one focused on the flower, and the second on the background grass. I then layered the two images in PSCS.

I kind of like the effect. Let me know what you think.

Tim "The Tick",
It was great getting out and shooting with you again...I like what you've done with this one, especially diagonal grasses. Some of the other blades that go off in different directions kinda throw me off a tad...but overall, a neat effect!

It is an interesting effect - I like it...!

So far, tick-free here... :biggrin:

This was on one of your tick gathering expeditions, eh? Well worth it, I'd say, Well thought out and very well done.

Pretty cool Tim, the diagonal blades of grass really add a nice graphic quality.

Very interesting effect. I might suggest cropping out or cloning out the yellow petals entering the frame at the bottom.
