Bracken-red

As part of my composite process, I check each isolated image on a red background. It can look quite dramatic, so thought I'd share with you.

[Suzanne]

Can I ask what might seem like a dumb question but how do you isolate each image in the first place?

[Annie D]

Cool..thanks for sharing

[PhotoCrazy]

Nicely done!

[Wylie]

@ankers70 Not a dumb question. Answer is it depends! Sometimes 'select subject' or 'remove background' will do it, other times, select colour, other times, just hard slog with magic selector or brush. It depends on the collection background and circumstances.

[Bucktree]

Very cool. Well done.

[Babs]

It does look dramatic on the red background.

[Mags]

Beautiful! I like this.

[Diana]

So stunning with the reflection!

[Wylie]

@ludwigsdiana thank you for noticing Diana, here I thought I'd wasted my time putting it in!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Stunning , with its faint reflection onto the red !

[winghong_ho]

The effect is great.

[Beverley]

It’s pretty cool to see this, it’s super dramatic.
You’re really skilled …I like your composites a lot.

[Dorothy]

Fabulous!! Is this done in photoshop? I like the reflection.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

So pretty.

[Bill Davidson]

It does look dramatic

[Cliff McFarlane]

Love the effect and simplicity

[Margaret Brown]

Great against the red background

[carol white]

Lovely against the red background

[Rick Schies]

Very strong color

[Renee Salamon]

Xmas?

[Peter Dulis]

nice

[Rob Z]

That's so interesting. But why a red background - is there some particular reason for that choice?

[Wylie]

@beverley365 thank you Beverley, they take a while so it’s good to get feedback.
@illinilass yes Dorothy, photoshop it is!
@rensala ha ha, not Xmas yet!
@robz thanks Rob, sometimes bits get missed during the isolation process, the red background shows through if there’s a gap and I can fill it!

[Rob Z]

@pusspup Thanks - all makes sense.

[Shutterbug]

Nice minimalism.

[bkb in the city]

Very nice

[Rick]

Really makes it stand out. Great shot.

[leggzy]

Sounds like quite a process. Looks almost 3d on the red

[Yao RL]

It jumping out of my monitor.
