Amazing shot. Probably my favourite archive challenge photo to date. I have seen images similar to this before, and really liked them. Then I look at your original, and wonder, how did you do it?!?!?
Wow, I love love this. I love the darkness of it. Having the flowers oriented that way gives it such a somber feeling as well, it's nice to see flowers with a new take. I'm super impressed with your editing skills.
I know I have a version of this in my favs, but I'm not going to look right now to see which one. LOL! I do love the re-edit, the blues really work for this image and I'm adding this one to favs too! I don't have lightroom, but love what it did to the light. Gorgeous!
Gasp! Wow! Talk about taking "interesting" to EXTRAORDINARY! It reminds me of a cross between Lesley Goodman and Ursula :) And it makes an awesome mix. The Melethia touch.
This explains why I had deja vu when this showed up on my Flickr homepage several times as a new upload. I had thought you were doing re-edits. Makes a huge difference. This blue version seems to convey a feeling of sadness.
I downloaded the trial of lightroom, but am having trouble finding out how to do things. Won't be buying it anyway, as I can't spare the $$ right now for something like that.
