Double Salmon Hibiscus (View Larger)

Original Raw

Another Gaussian Blur and Pixel Bender creation. I have added the

original Raw for comparison.

Very, very fine work Leo! The effect is stunning for these florals. I think you should start submitting these works to some of the magazines that feature Photoshop art. Even photography magazines would probably be interested in your technique. This one is just fantastic!!

leo, these images you are submitting at the moment are just what the flower section needs,  a burst of new energy.  a week or so back there was one day there were only 11 images in total in the entire flower section. 

where as the other submission i commented on i felt the original was a bit of a lemon or at least a image i would not do anything with.  this one the raw file i would more then likely have a play with,  but my end result would turn out nothing like yours.  i think what makes your work so interesting is that you take a image and rework it to your own formula with pleasing results.  one can look and immediately see that what their looking at is not a photo as such but a computer generated piece of art.  i like how you see flowers and appreciate your efforts. again well done!

Leo fantastic composition!
