I was in the mood to do something creative this morning, so I took a photo of an American flag (similar to this U.S. flag photograph, both shots were taken at the Asbury Park boardwalk last year) and imposed it over a recent shot that I took of the rudbeckia in my garden. I used a mask in Photoshop to get the background of flowers to appear under the flag. The difficult part is the edges – one carefully has to go around and eliminate all the sky edges from the original photograph.
Happy Fourth of July.
Here are the two original photos used to create the image above:
The top one of rudbeckia or black eyed susans was taken in my front yard. The bottom one depicts a U.S. flag flying on the Asbury Park boardwalk.
Well done! Happy 4th of July!
Thank you! Happy 4th of July to you, too.
Lovely combination! I hope you had a happy July, 4th.
We spent the day at the Asbury Park beach (and visited my in-laws, too). But we didn’t stay for the fireworks – we would have gotten home close to midnight if we had done that. Another year, perhaps.
Beautiful shots with the flag and rudbeckia.
Thank you, Carver.
WOW! You did a great job with this, Leora!
I’m glad you like it. If I can get more ideas on photo combinations, I’ll do more of these.
Oh I like this very much Leora…love this..
Great photos…beauties each one, and wonderful finished image.
I am just now learning my way around Photoshop Elements…I love the end result!! Thanks for stopping by my place and saying hello.
