Cece Pixie

Enchanting as the moon, wild as the foxes that run below it. Feral and untamed as the woods they haunt.
Beware travelers through wooded paths who do not regard the flora and fauna as they would their own kin.
These playful vixens will misguide you with smiling eyes to your demise.

I used my own stock for this photomanipulation.
The original Primary photography I shot for my work:



___TIP______________________________________________________________________________________

Problem: Depth of field is something that we're used to seeing in so many terrific photographs.
Unfortunately the lack there of is often what makes photomanipulations fall short of grace in the eye of it's audience. When you add focal depth well, it's hardly noticeable. However, when you don't add it,
the resulting work often looks a bit off.

Solution: Decide what plain you want to have in focus (typically I choose characters as my focal point).
Make each plain in front and behind your focal plain progressively more blurred as the distance increases.

Example: In this piece, my character is in focus while the the branch she's clinging to starts of in focus and fades into a blur as it goes back in space toward it's edge. The plants just behind are 20% blurrier, the main backdrop image 25% blurrier. The trick is to have a subtle and gradual increase of blur.
