Precious Allie
Precious Allie ... My sweet daughter :)
This was taken at mine and Stephens SL5B exhibit. This is actually 3 images in one.
First.. I took the images in 5700/3900 size. I put 3 images taken at the same exact camera angle and placement and masked out the peices of each that I liked. The clarity of the flower next to her was one image. The butterflies and the empty peices of land to her right were another image. And her with her eyes closed, and the majority of the rest, was another.
After the masking was complete, quite of bit of liqufying was needed to soften the edges of her hands and knees.. I also fixed the prim poking through her chest form the skirt. Then I flattended the image and duplicated.
Then set the top layer to soft light, and gave it a suble gaussian blur. The top layer was then desaturated... and given a soft glow and slight noise was added.
2 lights were then added to the top layer and the bottom layer. ONe soft omni and 2o'clock lights. Before the image was complete, I added a solid gray layer (seperate layer between the top and bottom layers) and set it to overlay. This is where I did my doge and burn, to add depth and light where it was needed.
One signiture later and flattening and all was complete :)
