Butterflies and Stars

Photomanipulations are not my strong point.

I spent at least three hours working on this until I felt satisfied. The photography in here of the origami butterflies and stars is mine. I made the butterflies on a whim, and Steve and I created the stars. It took me a month to figure out how I wanted to photograph it, but I had the basic idea in mind. This is the final product however.

Total Layers: 31

Executed well. Detailed comments on the deviation.

Thanks, I left one back, but I'll put the idea here too.

The moon was meant to kind of tie in the stars the way the flower ties in the butterflies. But that was the best I could get it to do.

I think it looks realy nice but the pink on pink does not feel right: the moon I feel could have done with having a texture to it and maybe lighter but not to much to spoil the balance of the effect. Perhaps if you had made some of the layers bevel/embosed to make the origami blend in with the background?

I wish my mind was as creative though.

It was supposed to be purple, but when I dropped the opacity it became more pink-ish.

I'll keep the ideas in mind for next time though, because unless I really get the urge I don't know if I'll be going back to this piece. LOL;;;
