step 4 of 9

Duplicated my row of flowers, and placed the new layer behind the first layer. did this about 8 more times, each time slightly shrinking the flowers, flipping and creating the illusion of them gradually going into the distance. each additional layer of flowers got more blur and darkness added to it, to create depth.

finished by adding in a lens flare because of the high level of light in the image. it also helps bring the separate images together a little better. also added a light layer of vignette with some blurred lens grain.
