Interesting abstract composition. It's one of those shots that you have to step back to really enjoy. Up close you look at the small parts but when you step back you can see the whole picture. Very graphic. I interesting idea.
I like using that filter for personal stuff every now and then. The flower looks like it was well taken, so why cover it up? It will be interesting to see how this places.
Very nice idea.
The stamens look too 'rough' in relation to the gentle tones and curves of the background. This might be the point but I would prefer to get rid of deep black shadows in the texture of stamens.
interested digital art effect. I expect you'll get hammered by the photography purists. I like the image but have to admit that the impact of the shot comes from your special effects not from presenting a mundane subject in and of itself in an interesting way.
I'm not too sure that I like the effect on this. origanally I scored this low but after reviewing this again im bumping you up 2 points. I'm still not too sure on the effect.
very interesting - althought the flower doesn't appear mundane I didn't lower the score any ;)
like the colors and the basket-weave tiles (I'm looking forward to seeing how you did this effect!) One of my picks for a ribbon
Very good job on the weave effect and making a flower more unmundane. However, I find the pollen stems not to be fit. They seem out of place. That just me. I like the color tones and shadeing too.
I'm going to rate this down because it feels too processed to me... it's not emphasizing the photograpy, instread it hilights design and post-production. I like it, but I don't think it's entirely appropriate. :)
Honestly, I think this would still be a good picture without all the PhotoShop madness. As far as digital art goes, its absolutely beautiful. As far as photography goes, well, doesn't quite cut it for me. A 4 for the nice picture used.
