PS 的痕迹好象重了些?

#1 and #2 were pretty much the original, there was no much work done in PS;
#3 the halo and blurry desat background was all part of the design. Actually I have had this image in my mind when I took the original photo. I like this type of effect. the colorful object stands out from the dreamy but rather mono background. when I got time, I will post the original photo of this one.

无忌里有个专门教怎样虚话背景的帖子，楼主可以在PS专区找找，很有帮助的

this is #3 original. just corpped and curved a bit. that is it. no more work done on this one. I promised it before. I guess this is what others in this board would like to see? It is not a good photo, as you can see The light was dim, really dim. after rain, no sun, at 6:00PM in a shade of a building and trees. since I handheld, I used high ISO, which introduced much noise. manual focus though. compared the #3 modified and the original, which one you like better?

"A Gua" I think you just alerted me. I found myself crossing off to graphic design side a bit. not exactly photography anymore. I need refocus on the photography side to improve my skills. But, yeah, what is the hell, it does not hurt to know some graphic design side a bit, I guess. So... do you mind tell me where you get those photos from? I'd be really happy to see more of his/her work.

Thanks!

Thank you very much! the guy must have a macro lens, I think. and the PS procedure was pretty simple too!

先复制一层, 选出花,再把选区制成一层放在最上面, 在第二层用方型选取工具画个框, EDIT>STROKE, 选线的颜色和SIZE,就有白线框了,反选,改变一下明暗或色彩. 这样框在第二层, 部分被最上面的花盖着就看不见, 花就破框而出了.

.... smart work.

Xterra: I think many DXes in this forum have been through all these. When you just start to play with those techniques, your feeling is always "wow". However, a little while later, you will find photo shooting itself is more attractive.

Attached a 拙作 I did last year. Similar procedure, different effect. Now, when I look back at it, it was a nice try. However, just give myself a grin. No more!
