When we moved into the place we are now in about a year ago, the place had been vacant so the front yard was horribly overgrown with weeds while most of the plants were dead. It has been a long process to get things cleaned up, but we are finally getting to the point of being able to replant the two huge garden beds (about 2 x 10 meters). The 10x10 meter lawn in the center will come next... :-)
Anyway, this is one of the first roses to bloom on the new rose bush we planted last week. I'm not much of a floral photographer, so I started playing with different processing techniques to try to create different textures on one of my boring rose shots. Nothing was that great but it was a fun exercise, so I figured I'd just put some of them together in a quadtych, starting with the original image in the lower left.
Now this I really like, and it reminds me of my 'Delicate Rose'..... Love it, and yes, it belongs in my favorites, and I am also going to add you as a favorite as well.....
...would apparantly both smell as sweet and look as good.
Great replication with differences in this quadtych and super soft colours, I can imagine this for sales in a nice department store or hanging on the wall in a shot in a diy or paint magazine which was saying how beautiful colours can transform a room
just beautiful .. i love the colouring, i love the way you've combined them and i really love your composition of the original shot .. those gorgeous petals coming out'v the interior of the bud or wotever its called .. stunning .. your different processing is great too .. the one on the bottome rhs is very interesting .. just about metallic or satin like .. :)..
Wow incredible macro shots. Such beautiful soft texture, like satin. I just want to reach out and stroke a petal. I hope you use this one to decorate one of your walls.
Very lovely image. Glad you tried some interesting processing techniques. Not sure I like the white window treatment. What would happen if you changed the color to maybe an ivory? I don't know, it seems too linear for such a curvy shot of the rose.
