What Would You Do (#31)

[Nicole]

Ok, last week's WWYD was a real challenge, but out of it came some great instructions for putting a picture into a snowglobe.

This week we have a picture from Teewinot



Available Larger

The rules are simple. Use this picture and edit it however you would like. Come back and post your result along with what you did so we can learn from it. Simple as that. And if you'd like your photo used, just drop me a PM with the medium and large links to the picture.

Now, let's see what you would do!

Very simple. I just frescoed the original in Photoshop and inverted the colors. After that, something told me this was a face. So I grabbed a brush and drew the eyes in, minus the pupils. I made sure to draw the nose so that the bee was on the outside because it sucks to have a bee in your nose. The mouth line was already there.

That seriously made me laugh

[waffles]

Not that I know from experience or anything. I'm just assuming that sharp things being in your nose aren't fun.

I think the safest thing to do here is to shrink-wrap the little bugger to the flower.

played with the stauration a bit
painted the bee with a brighter yellow at 30% opacity to brighten it up a bit
mirrored image
circle effect with a repeat pattern

Some great edits so far, everyone! I liked this shot because this bee seems suicidal hanging out on the rim of a carnivorous pitcher plant...I just find the overall composition a little busy with all the leaves going this way and that. Keep 'em coming!!

Doesn't really go with the subject. I just wanted to play with some new actions and brushes.

*Newly Discovered* Madagascar Wasp Nest Pitcher Plant
[IMG][/IMG]

First I made a selection of the pitcher plant,
Then I opened a new doc. and pasted the selection,
pasted many more times with different rotations,
then went back to the original pic and made a selection of the wasp,
and again pasted the wasp on the new doc., many times,
then copied the multi-leaved picture plant back on the original pic., put in position and cropped,
then I erased the middle of my new plant to reveal the throat of the original plant,
then added a little shadow to the hole I created.
Then I ran the Black and white adjustment layers action that Kvikken posted.

Hope that made sense.
first time trying one of these....
I wouldn't do it this way again, I would probably just crop it to a portrait format and blur the background.

Nicely done neonfish I think it looks good and incredibly convincing
