We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
As for me, I'm not so sure about the glass effect, and maybe it's just because I have no knowledge of those 'gadgets'. I think I would have liked it as it was, as it's certainly a nice close-up.
Interesting idea. Doesn't quite work for me, but that's partially due to the blunt edge where the effect/photo meet. Try, for next time, using the "feather" tool. It fades the edge(s) of the area(s) selected in just just edits.
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
'Tis nicely done! Very imaginative !!
