Rose mix

I had an idea for an image I thought I'd try today.  I wanted to blend together several photos to make a composite, abstract image.  I took 9 shots of a trailing Lady Banks rose and a Japanese maple, deliberately over and under exposing some of them.  Then I blended the images together using layers in Photoshop.  I experimented with various opacity levels and layer styles to get the final product.  I think I ended up using 7 of the photos.  The subject matter wasn't my goal today...it was more about playing around with the process.  I liked what I could do with this (not necessarily the end result) and I think I'll use this approach again with some better subjects.
