Using a combination of hard light, colour dodge to create this strong look. I used the round bristle brush (first time) and it worked well in blending in the images esp around the small leave/twig. The soft brush clashes and doesn't give a good result in blending as it erases the image without giving it a subtle blend. I also used `selective colour' to change the background colour of the twigs to white. I am impressed with the accuracy of the change. Blended the image with some twigs....just trying out some new techniques and fooling around.
