Again, I like the original alone, but decided to see if I could create a sense of isolated creativity and inspiration without destroying the wonderful qualities of the original. Photo taken the day of our recent LA GTG, while at lunch with Deb (who also took some great images of this guy).
The flower overlay images are from the same image I took at the Getty (also a DPC GTG!!), and I used cgino's I want a Doll and Unfocused Drops textures, plus a vintage handwritten texture from Pink Sherbet Photography on Flickr.
Multiple blending modes, etc., etc.
PS - the scratches on the glass are grafitti on the window, and not an overlay.
I thought a crop might emphasize the intimacy. Not so sure:
Is it not funny how everyone has a different opinion...I like this...but I like how your subject in the cropped version is brought up close and center...
