These Chinese Opera figures gave me a chance to play with the macro setting in low natural light, then processed with an antique filter layer, wiped back over the figures and then linear dodge on the final layer. Quite happy with the effect and though I despaired of finding something for today's challenge word it's been an interesting exercise. Camera - canon sx30is.
The effect was quite worth the effort. It gives the figures life and personality.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with Bobbie! Wonderful dimension!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out very nicely. For a theme you were concerned about, you hit it out of the park.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Who knew that those little figures my parents gave me years ago would come in so handy ;) Tomorrow's theme is chocolate hmmmmmm... too many options there
ReplyDeleteGung Hee Phat Choy! To you too.
ReplyDelete.. and it's the year of the dragon!
