The seed pods were interesting, but the background didn't do much to provide context. I used Topaz Textures to create what I had imaged their surroundings to be like.
Lovely image I have a butterfly shot from yesterday that's on a pink bicycle frame I would love to be able to swap out the background for something more appropriate :)
Lovely atmospheric image Taffy! Topaz Textures is wonderful - thanks so much for introducing me to it as it can really lift those blah shots ( of which I have many) and helps to create an artistic image. Fav!
@northy It works like Silver FX as a plug-in within LR. The downside is that if you use PS with its layering program, you can save each layer and go back to adjust. In Topaz, it's more intuitive, and I like it a lot, but once exported, that's it. You can't go back and re-do elements.
@taffy tx!!! so it sounds like analog or colour fx... i'll have to see if i have the patience for this ;p i have a topaz account but can't seem to figure out how to get from LR to topaz... will have to muck about with this tomorrow when i have more time!
@northy If you already have it, it should show up when you do the 'edit in' function. Good luck! I think you'll like using it -- it functions like any of the Efex ones.
