Light of the Century

A wonderful graphic image. Excellent color palette. Nicely processed. Cheers! Chris

It's like white and green paint being poured together. The soft focus and tones are done really well.

It is an interesting and beautiful abstract with wonderful colors and lines. Nicely done. Dan

This century plant in is in my neighbor's yard that I pass everyday

when I walk my dogs. On this particular day there was a lot of new

growth that caught my eye. After our walk I grabbed my camera and

tripod and went to photograph this beauty. The white leaves here were

actually a very pale yellow and in my initial processing in Lightroom

that yellow shifted to a pale blue. In fact that is how I first

presented this image in my portfolio. In this remake, I pulled most of

the blue out and soften the whole image with some Gaussian Blur and

further used the blur to de-emphasize some background details .I used

a curves layer to further extend the tonal range to include a good

black and white point. I am very happy with the way this turned

out.Your comments are welcome.

Leo - marvelous. Almost like a sculpture. I appreciate your honestly and explanation of the steps you used to create this shot. There is a real sense of tranquility in this shot - with the soft color palette contrasted against the sharp lines and blurred edges. I've stared at this image for a long time. Well done! Regards, David

Superb image Leo. This combination is not one that you see often in nature. The softness, and the abstract nature, of the image make it altogether more interesting. Well scene, and processed.

All the best,

Neil
