For the first few weeks of this year I’ve been trying to master layers and effects by editing and processing my photos. So far I’ve used layers to reposition elements, played around a bit with colour and blur, and used layers to create a multiple photo effect. I think the poppies is probably my favourite so far.

They’re all photos from 2014 or earlier, except the first one which was a new photo of a plastic toy found in a Christmas cracker, then pocketed and photographed for this project.
