'Shatter' Photograph With Sections Cut Out

I took one of the photographs I had taken for the word 'Natural' and using a scalpel I removed sections of the photograph to represent the word shatter I cut portions out and tried to imitate the reaction and the development of broken glass shattering. I wanted to create a fore ground being the image and a background where you could see through the shattered section. I think I had to add two grounds to make it more 3D. I am very pleased with this postcard because of how realistic it looks.
