Jacky says:
‘I absolutely love these little spring Anemones which pop up in the garden. Using a clamp I positioned the flower so that it was backlit in the spring sunshine. I love to use my ‘floaty petal’ technique on Windflowers to give the impression of movement. Using two exposures in Photoshop I adjusted the opacity and added a layer mask to paint away the centre of the flower.’
