Theme: Monochromatic - Dragonfly

[Christopher Miller]

This is a dragonfly that I photographed during this past summer. I used channel mixer, two color fill layers, and a hue/saturation layer to give it the monochromatic look. I also applied a slight gaussian blur overlay, a soft light overlay, and a vignette. Any C&C are welcome!

Christopher, I'm not a fan of tight crops but I think it works very well here. I like the color tones and the details in your DF. I might tone down the one specular highlight at the wing tip. Nicely done.

Nice image and application.

Looks like a camo Special Forces helicopter landing. ;)

Christopher, I like the sepia color and the position of the dragonfly within the image. The central area of the subject is sharp and holds ones interest...
