August Distortion

Another in my series of distorted flowers...comments welcome!

Makes a very good and colorful abstract,Kim.The petals are leaping like water-jet in fountain.I like this rendition.

This one is quite cool. The colors are stupendous.

I just made a note to come back and see the others. This is really creative!

Lovely colors & unusual effect, nicely abstract!!! Best regards.

Thanks, guys...used my studio lights on the original flower arrangement, then "did my thing"...

Always good...Alway origanal!!!

Very original, Kim. Ithought of Picasso's bananas at first. excellent background, too.

Yes, the colors are really vibrant and go so well together, the bg blends very well too. Looks like the studio lighting has worked very well, I am curious to see the original if you don't mind.

Here's the original...

What kind of comments are you looking for? Because ... I LOVE it!!! :-) It's a bit less abstract than some of the others. I really like that you can make out the entire center of the flower. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Lou Ann, your comments will work just fine! :) I have a black background now for my studio lights, so will be experimenting with flowers against that soon.

Good! Go - experiment!! :-D

Thanks for posting the original, Kim. I like how you've warmed up the colors in your initial posting (the distorted one) and I also like that you've made the lighting and bg appear more subdued.

very nice distortion kim.. tones are very good, moreover yellows and reds are naturally contrasting colours, and when you add fucsia color as well ... it really gets me a chromatic addiction... i like this distort becouse the flower seems to be dying in the bottom of the frame... strange, becouse vibrant colours suggests otherwise... nice idea and well done to me.

Strange, but very nice the result!

Thanks to everyone for the comments. Expect to see another one soon!

This is excellent, and I am really in awe of the simplistic beauty of it... Love the pinks and other soft colors that comprise the background.

 

Did this effect introduce any unsavory pixelating distortion to the photo or does it look pretty sharp at large print sizes? I've had such trouble, but I usually just throw another layer or two in and lose it in confusion.

 

Thank you so much for sharing your work with us all, you are an inspiration.

Bruce, I don't lose any sharpness, even in the larger sizes. I usually print these at least 12x16.

I love it, too!

Thanks, Kim. Will be doing more of these now that I have my "cube" and studio lights. Whole different effect with inside flowers as I have more control over the background.

I've commented on a few of your photos but never browsed through your portfolio. Lou Ann A. directed me to your "distorted flowers" and they are all amazing. Your a true artist. I'll be back to check out more....

Thanks for visiting, Joan!
