well, I'm predicting a mid 5, but I really like this image and think I did a pretty good PS job, not to mention camera stuff. Was a nice experiment.
The moon was a printed cut out hanging from ceiling with a strobe and makeshift snoot directly behind it, I painted a fake butterfly gold and taped it to the back of my ring finger with a thin wire, did some healing to get rid of any traces. I used layers and extracted both the hand and the butterfly and did their color balance, hue/saturation, contrast and sharpening separately. Burned the hand a bit (lol, that\'ll always sound funny to me) and put a blue photo filter over the moon.
Was a pretty cool process, I know, elementary, but it\'s fun to be learning and to have gotten this pic pretty close to what was in my head while staying within the advanced editing rules. Now I\'ll just have to figure out how to add glitter and swirly dust w/o the rules (and maybe gold glowing light from the butterfly or something)...
Ok, here's playing around with sparkly stuff:
