The eye of my wife. 45mm, 1/125 sec, f6.3, ISO 200 Edited in PS (some monochrome).

Original image was transformed into a monochrome image, then converted back to RGB. The previously exempted iris color image is copied into the picture. The level received an opacity of 75% and the attribute "Overlay" (it stands out in particular). I have also released the eyelid and inserted as the parent level. In order to level the sharp edges, I used the filter "Radial Blur" (thickness: 4, radiating) blurred iris and eyelid. Due to the low intensity were - as desired - affected only the peripheral areas, while the center of the iris in the field is left untouched.

Bird instead Frog - Pictures from above

Photos like a model railway: from top to open up new perspectives. Now it's easier to become a frog as a bird, but when we sit on the plane to provide photos of almost. Otherwise, the works of bridges, mountains, tall buildings, etc. downstairs. It should clarify a detail, from where the image has been created: bridge piers, house fronts, or a wing. In the mountains to offer cabins, rocks or trees nearby.

The depth of the space

Where the main subject is ultimately, does not really matter as long as the viewer is led. Yes, it can even stand in the background. Especially with a wide angle lens you can not do all sorts: the viewer is drawn into the picture when narrowing Kafkaesque house fronts to the rear or street schienbar in the background dissolves because the roadsides strive toward a distant point. As for motives, which are the same size that works with the spatial depth makes a good start: A line of parked cars, for example, which are diagonally positioned behind each other in the image, produces a sensation of depth, because they seem to be getting smaller.

More distant objects are seen less and thus less detailed. This effect gives an image depth.
