I started off by just scanning flowers with in mind that later on i would use this technique mixed with photos took on my camera to create a crazy layered image. This was just a quick experiment to see what scanning the flowers would look like so I grabbed the nearest ones to me which just happened to be old rotting flowers, not 'spring like' at all. I think this photo has an eerieness to it, the dying flowers add to this effect. The fading flowers in the background look ghostly. I like this technique of photographing because it allows for an easy way to compose the images and it looks great in the end! I will do more photos using the scanner but will make sure my subject matter is relevant to my topic 'spring'.
I then started layering my images and manipulating them on photoshop to make the colours shine though in certain parts and create an overall 'spring' look.
I layered 2 images to achieve the strange 3D look in this photo. Once I had brightened the base photo and changed the colours to suit the topic 'spring', using photoshop, I then overlayed another photo of fresh flowers and changed the opasity so the background image would be able shine through. I'm not too impressed with the look of this photo, I think I could do it again but achieve a much cleaner result. Certain parts in this photo look empty, I would like to correct the imperfections. I think I will follow the same path but will make sure the overall photo looks as good as it can be! I'm pleased with the colours, they look beautiful and pale, not too 'in your face' but still bold enough to not blend into the fading background. 
This photo is almost the same as the photo above but with clearly shown flowers copied on top and another image layered into it which made the photo too pale and blended together. Adding the flowers on top gave the photo some focus rather than it be a flat and pale image. I like this photo because it's busy and basically in my opinion nice to look at.
