Dipladenia

Shot this several times. Started with camera double exposure 10 times. Thought it would work but never thought I had anything to show. Tossed everything and started over again. Here is my final effort for this Dipladenia plant.

I would like to tell you Frank if I could remember the many many layers and steps I used. Basically I took one shot in focus for the flower. A second shot consisted of 10 in camera multiple exposure shots. Camera set to Overlay mode making a light picture. I set the focus to the center of the flower and then changed the position of that focus point all around the petals.
So that was the background. I added a light colored texture layer over that, Set it for lighten.
Now placed the single in focus flower into my picture. Made a black mask. Opened the flower with a larger soft brush. Wanted to meld into the background.
Now added a light beam over the picture.
Basically that is how it was done with a few other curve layer tweaks.

A dreamy shot! Your process is way above my pay grade but you have obviously mastered it.

I haven't masted the process for sure. A lot of trial and error, a lot of error. 🥴
I like the fact that most of the photoshop moves are non-destructive and I can go back and redo & redo parts of it.😊
