Photo Blog Fourteen: Center Frame Portrait

Color burn 50% to create a cartoon-like effect.

For this photo prompt, I felt that I could achieve a good center frame portrait by using subjects such as flowers and shooting down toward the subject. They are naturally suspended, and all the stems are concealed beneath the face of the flower. Although the color burn blend mode might not often be used for maintaining a realistic look, I like how it takes advantage of the graininess from using a high ISO and enhances the shadows to create a pop art element.

Here is another version that looked cool to me! I used a 72% opacity layer of orange color placed below the color burn layer.

Bring on the orange!
