Thank you, Janice! I adore bokeh effects too (obviously) and am in danger of overusing them I think.
you did some lovely things with bokeh effects for this round of slayerstillness! #17 of course but I particularly liked your unconventional use of it in in icon#3, where it was green and looked like part of the background shrubbery and thus very well intergrated with the image. (And also, it's behind and around Buffy rather than an overlay like conventional bokeh.) Does PS allow you to select that green for bokeh effect or was it a texture you added?
And while I'm asking questions - how did you get that amazing image clarity in #11 and those rich inky blacks in #17? Deep black in which the pixilation isn't at all visible is so hard to achieve.
(You took me by surprise with your Buffy submissions, btw! - I had no idea whose they were. Some lovely work with chiaroscuro and soft, muted colors - which probably should have tipped me off they were yours. What inspired you to work with Buffy exclusively this time around?)
