I was playing around with blending modes in Photoshop today and I thought I'd post the colorful results.

'Conspiration a la reine 1'

I feel like this is what "Yellow Submarine" might've looked like if Edward Gorey had been one of the animators...


It's by illustrator Melissa Murillo...who also goes by the name Meyoko.

Take me to the post-process graveyard



Well, I can't decide which one I like better. The first one is the photo just as I took it. Pure, plain, not the greatest actual photo, but daylight-y. The second one is more processed and...more interesting (?) as a result.
It's always bothered me that I can never choose which edit I want to present. However, when I don't choose and present more then one, the image usually looses impact.

I guess in the end all photographers seem to be able to buck up and pick a final copy.
But I feel like there should be a graveyard for everyone's edits that came close but never got to see the light of day.
That could be a cool concept for an online picture community..hmm.
