Top 20 Photos of 2013 - #6

#6

Clicking away at the KL Butterfly Park, I took A LOT of photos, including this image of a dragonfly perched on a leaf. I decided to squat down and shoot this one from below, but it didn't stand out in particular from any other images. It was only when I got home and hooked it up in Photoshop that I managed to blacken the background, and it really stood out. I love the transparent wings, the alien-shaped head and the triangular leaf it sits on. Sometimes, a little Photoshop can produce a lot of good!

Taman Gelora through Photoshop

Yesterday I blogged about a lovely park here in Kuantan named Taman Gelora.

Yesterday I played around with one image from that shoot in Photoshop. Here is the original image:

I think it's a really lovely view

After putting this image through Photoshop, I've been able to create some almost abstract images of the same scene but seen through entirely different eyes.
