Winter Narcissus with Textures
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 8 February 2010 in Plant & Nature.
I played around with this image more than usual. Photo was taken a pale yellow background, indoors, natural light. I used Topaz Simplify, added several of my textures, and used LAB sharpening to accent some of the edges. Not my best image, but it was fun to play around and try new techniques.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

I like it. It looks more like a painting obviously but in that vain it is very good. I think images like this will appeal to the general public that looks at photos differently then paintings as art. Might even be a fine art market for this style of photo.

Sorry, Anita, this time it doesn't work for me. It looks like painted with water colours but colours are not much appealing to me and I miss details in blossoms.

It's interesting to see these blossoms with the playful outline. Glad to see you are adventuring....:-)

This has a fun "pop art" feeling to it...A Peter Max quality. ( I'll bet I am dating myself!)

Looks like a watercolor painting. Very effective and creative processing.

Just amazing as are all of your photos and processing methods, Anita... I think you have advanced to another level beyond most of us.
