scarification

Another photoshop experiment. I came late in life to the digital world and have taught myself the little I know about effects etc in Photoshop. I like experimenting, my only criteria being this: that they are composed soley from photos I have taken myself. This is a photo of my sister, over which I have layered another photo of a graffitied tree. I was trying to contrast her beauty and the scarring of the tree's bark to talk about the fleeting nature of beauty and aging.
