ATC a day for August, day 5

My first attempt at a totally-in-photoshop collage using totally different images. The background is a rusty garbage can lid, the gingko leaf is itself (unfortunately not the crispest of photos!), and the dots are a button. Love the drop-shadows!

I decided to photgraph a bunch of buttons, so I could use them in collage. That's a pain -- cleaning them all up, saving them separately..... But I'll be glad later.

Here are two versions. This one "just" with heightened saturation and contrast:





















This one with the "poster edges" filter:





















They both look kinda blurry to me -- not sure if it's just that my eyes are tired of looking at the screen, or if they're ... just blurry.

I don't think that they are blurry at all! Gingko leaves are such unsual elegant looking things aren't they?

Thanks for lending your eyes to my question. :-)

I love gingko leaves -- so exotic and yet so sensibly fannish.... I mean to try to remember to photograph the back, so the veins show better.
