 Overexposed image on purpose, hand held, taken upside down decided to leave upside down,some usual colour contrast saturation adjustments, USM, rock and waves effects (irfanview), possibly more USM. Just playing.

Might have been more finetuned if I had access to the noise reduction in the gimp, but computer modifications and snaffus temporarily prevent access to this as well as to earlier flower pictures at the moment. Normal broadcasting expected to resume next week.

This is abstract and very "texturey" if that's a word. Very nice processing to get such a "light" looking image from a solid subject.

Really nice. I like the watery yet grainy look of this. Very dreamy.

Thank you commenters and patio###.

pixelpig: good question. I think the noise is a product of bringing up more colour/saturation, decreasing the gamma/lightness, and all the torture I put it through - for sure the USM creates strange artifacts after awhile. As well I am working with a small jpg file(albeit the crop was slight on a 4mp image) although you wouldn't think that would matter at the sizes we post on dpc.

Will try to post original.

Oh that is lovely. I like the delicateness and almost high key feel of it with the hint of grain. It's like a delicious abstract.

Sweet! Speaking artistically, the noise adds texture that is harmonious & interesting. I'm surprised to see so much noise on an over-exposed image (is it noise?) This is beautiful!

This is also great, being the original, but I like what patio127 did with her processing of your awesome pastel image.

Very nice- like all the ripples in this - I'm guessing a poppy. Great edit :)
