helicon focus 5 frames

This cascade is on the Black River in NW WI just downstream of Little Manitou Falls. Besides F22, I used 5 frames of different areas of sharpness blended in helicon focus for extreme depth of field.

I am getting married over the holidays. This is the invite I designed. Used rough texture cloning brush to clone onto new file from a double exposure I had done back in film days. Poinsettias were cut out from a black light glassware photo I had taken. Got the green border on the type by selecting the type and modify>border and filled with green before adding drop shadow. Don't remember what tut used to make the star flare. I remember it used the liquify tool to pull out the rays. Angels were from Gold Trinkets. Used Obsidian Dawn's snowflake brushes to stamp on their own layer, then command clicked on the layer thumbnail to select them. Discarded that layer(while keeping selection active), then made the base layer active and copied the selection to another layer where I added a bevel and inner glow.

Found this little guy sitting on a milkweed plant in a monarch butterfly garden. ID was difficult until found out they turn green during breeding season.
