END OF SUMMER SYMPHONY

Thanks for any comments....

The original had a painterly quality to it, and so I pushed it a little farther in that direction...

Nice job. It's really quite lovely.

that was a good push you gave to it, it's very much like a drawing, nice bouquet of fading colours. You should also create the perfume for this ;-)

Linda, without a doubt, this is a very beautiful and unusual image. Keep pushing.

Absolutely wonderful! It's as if someone very skilled in watercolors or pencil had applied his/her expertise.

Hydrangea - or Hortensia as the flower is named in Danish - is my over all favourite flower in photos. Painterly as you say Linda and with nice textures combined with a look of days past I can't think of many other flowers which are looking so well in a photo.... and the same here. It's simple and has the look of old days and you 'pushed' it very well ... very conveying.

The tight crop and work on the tones is just perfect, especially the subtle color shades are magnificent !

Got a 20D, huh?

 

Very nice work here, for a Cannon (sic) person.

I love the subtle colors, Linda. In fact, I like the original at least as much.

 

Very nice work.

Nice work

Nice quality to the colours and the PS work makes it look like a pastel sketch.

nicely done!!! Best regards.

Linda - I love the muted colors here. Your PS work is great. This would definitely go on a wall if it were mine!!!

I like your selfportrait the shadow on the old treeroot, I hope it is not a selfreflection;~))) This hortensia shows pritty nice colors, rather painterly quality. Yours, Mike

Something extra. Talent. Kind regards.

Like a painting ....good work !

Very nice shot, I like your Bio pic to by the way. :o)

 

DK.

i don't know of anyone else around here who could pull this off. i've tried several times, but mine look more dead than alive, more depressing than enlivening. one quibble, some of the outlines of the flowers might be sharpened a little too much. sometimes i end up sharpening the inside of the flowers but not their outlines, maybe that helps?

 

regardless, you've walked a fine line here quite successfully.

Outstanding, Linda - these are hard to do well and you've done it beautifully. Nice delicate touch you had with the push! I'd put it up on MY wall, too...
