Canon 5 entry - cocktail umbrella

Canon 5 entry - cocktail umbrella, originally uploaded by Vanessa Pike-Russell.

I have shrunk my husband so that he could pose with the cocktail umbrella. Doesn't he look surprised?

Don't believe it? Ok, if you really need to know the truth.

How I did it:

I took a photo of Philip holding an umbrella and then added an enlarged cocktail umbrella in a layer in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and merged the two. The background was removed in parts so that the two images were more matched and did some cleaning up of the image with the clone and spot healing brush tool.

I had fun and hope that you like it :)
