Artistic Photography

What is an artistic photo? Good question ... There are many interpretations of "artistic" in photography. My interpretation is a combination of a photo with graphic artistry. I take a photo and create an illusion with one object combined within a graphic background (digitally painted by me). This is usually wildlife or flowers. I create a digitally painted scene or meld the object directly with the background. Or, I create an illusion of fantasy with the photo itself. I like to do this with landscapes and photos of structures in nature. I hope you enjoy this collection!
