Tiger Lily in the Fall

I know! I know! I have stepped outside the box and this is not for everyone. But I have got to be me! Was a little reluctant to load this to PN but if by chance you happen to visit, I would appreciate your reaction to this image which starts from an original photo with the PS ocean ripple filter as the primary change agent.

You have my full support. I too like experimenting to turn image into artistic/painting. Like the glass effect very much. Keep on please...

Lovely experiment, good post treatment. Ciao.

Thinking outside of the box is a sign of creativity. You have transformed the ordinary into extraordinary and presented us with a refreshing perspective.

Johnson - thanks for your visit and support for this type of image.

Rita: Thanks for your kind words - best regards.

Adan: thank you for so many recent comments. They are all appreciated - best regards.

PS enhanced. Comments would be appreciated. 12:43am

Un trabajo fantastico con un marco original, como la edicion, y los colores muy vivos.Saludos.

I like the glass look but am not sure if the leaf pattern isn't a little busy. I personally think a tighter crop with out the edge suits me better. Great colors.

Thanks for the insights which I carefully consider - are you suggesting a crop that would end up in a square format. Are you also suggesting that the ripple effect is too pronounced on the flower itself? Best regards,

It looks very good, i like the frame also, fit very well to this image... Somehow it's a bit scary, presenting a world in disintegration!

True, not for everyone......but I love it. At first I also thought the border might be too busy. But after tinkering with it, I felt that it was too bland without the border, so I think you've achieved just the right balance. There is a bit of whimsy and fantasy to this shot, and I think it's very creative!

Pleasing colors with well thought out border and open spaces make for a visual pleasure to view , though not for everyone i can see this as a nice card with thoughtful saying ....Well done !

Tony, I love everything you do, and this one is beautiful and creative. About the border, at first glance, I thought there were bugs trapped against the glass. (Sorry, I feel awful saying that). I'd say, leave the border more blurred, or cut down on the opacity, but don't touch the flower and it's stunning ripple/glass effect. Regards, liz

Thanks - won't want to scare you. best regards,

Thanks for the insightful comments. The border seems to be drawing much attention. Best regards,

When comments are constructive, you don't need to feel 'awful' - I had some misgivings about the border myself and wondered if I should change the color but I like the idea of reducing the opacity - maybe even a little blurring - will play with it.

Thanks for the kind words,

Tony,

 

I see that others had some ideas for the border and toning it down is a good idea. A square crop might be nice as well without the border. I do like the glass effect and don't think it's overdone. Maybe a border that suits the edge of the flower, like a sloppy border (as they call them).

 

Best,

 

Karen
