Red Passion Flower taken with my hh panasonic at butterfly world.
I used this plug in called focal one which adds the nice oof mask on the image and the vignette
otherwise, used viveza to dodge some of the shadow areas and boose saturation and contrast in the purples.
Bold colors and high impact I like it a lot Mike !!!
Cool flower and neat effect, Michael! That green/red/purple combination is fantastic! One suggestion that might add a tiny bit to the overall look would be to take down the intensity of the two small yellowish areas so they blend in with the BG a bit more. I know Viveza is great for stuff like that.
I can't get over how great the detail is on the inside of that flower! Wow!
I feel like eating it :)
Love the flower center and the colors. Wish that the tip of that one petal was not covered by the leaf above it.
I love the layers of strong color with great detail.
Beautiful flower. Perfect center for radial blur (if you are so inclined).
