Photoshop Play

I have so much work to do, but instead of being productive I have just spent the last 30 minutes playing around with Photoshop and a branch from my chestnut tree.

I brought the branch in to school to use in Ceramics (for textures on a bowl that I am making) but I couldn't resist grabbing a few digital images prior to dissecting the leaves. Being lazy, I just propped a piece of black mat board behind the branch and used Photo Booth on my laptop to capture a few photos. Using Photoshop, I exaggerated the levels and saturation, and then went to work with layers and blending modes. What fun! I could do this all day, but alas, I have to get back to work.
