The Flowering Woman

To create this image I used a google image search to find a pictures for the background and foregroud. I ended up finding this really striking black and white image of a woman in motion which i used for the background. Then I decided to use macro photos of flowers to cover her. I opened all the images in photoshop and used the magnetic laso tool and quick selection tool to define the flower shapes. I then copied and pasted the flower images into the background layer and resized and arranged their shapes until i came up with the final product. I am happy with the result and think it looks great.

I used macro photos of flowers to create a layered embellishment on an existing image. Using up close photos as elements of collage.
