This looks like it could be some graphic design. About 3 weeks ago I pressed some Riverbirch leaves knowing I wanted to photograph them to show the filagree texture made by Japanese beetles leaving just the skelton of veins. Images taken with iPhone 6s. An ivory piece of cardstock was used as a background on the left image. To make the leaves more colorful I did ink with distress inks. The purple one I used the new distress wilted violet oxide ink which gives a more chalk- like appearance. I will admit to increasing brightness and contrast to get the look I wanted in PSE 11. The image on the right is using the invert filter which almost gives this a neon appearance with the black background. I want to experiement with some other artistic apps. The beetles have moved on...so will have to wait until next year for more specimens. These images were shown at the August TOPS meeting for the "Delicate Theme".
