I think it's well done but I must add, it could be improved in the edge work, e.g. the petals on the flowers.


Thanks Fotoartist - I can see the petals look a bit rough around the edges and may have another go just for the experience.

If you are using Photoshop the refine edge tool is pretty amazing. You make a rough selection then choose select and mask. You can view it as marching ants or to reveal your layers below. Get close with the brush tool then switch to refine edge and paint with the + on your edge. It looks for contrasts. Switch back to brush to fix problems. Output can be to a mask or to a selection or to a new layer with mask.

Thanks but I only have Photoshop Elements but could probably try your suggestion in ON 1 Photo Raw.

Photoshop Elements has the same tool, just a little different workflow. Try this video if you are interested in pursuing:

Also, check this topic from UHH member Guyserman:

I have PS Elements and would be glad to assist if you get stuck.

Used an original flower photo and changed the background - not the greatest example of PP but thought it turned out not too bad.


That's a pretty piece of work, bill...I like it!
