Julie's cover photo is absolutely gorgeous! It should make a stunning print. Well done!

[Grady Weed]

I was wondering who made that lovely print. Way to go Julie.

Very nice Julie, striking photo with great pop and it should be on a cover.

I feel your pain James as I went though this last year but not on this big of a forum.

Jules
I took a look......and it's stunning. Makes me want to get some flowers and work inside with the lousy weather outside.

That's right, folks, a killer image. And if you are interested in how it was created, check it out here:

You guys...shucks. :) It was just one of those things where you have an ugly photo of a beautiful flower and I just couldn't. let. it. go.

I'm so honored to have it chosen for the cover. I printed it out today to give to my best friend for Christmas (at her rather loud and persistant request) and it did make for a pretty sweet print.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

[Chris Starbuck]

Thanks, Tony. I have the forums page bookmarked, and the BPN logo at the top of that page just links back to the same page, not the home page. Haven't seen the home page in many months.

Well deserved.

[Dan Brown]

[Gus Cobos]

A big congrats to you Julie...its well deserved...:):cool:

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Beautiful work Julie and congrats on a great cover image . We are all proud of you !!!!!

[John Chardine]

I agree. Outstanding colour and technique Jules. I didn't see the original post so do not know how you made the image. Was the zoom effect in-camera or in post-processing?

[Julie Kenward]

It was in post processing, John. Look up to Fab's entry - she's got the link to the tutorial of how I did it.

It was a blast making the image and a blast seeing it every morning when I log onto BPN. :D
