Little Bells

I photographed these blueberry flowers last spring. I love how they look like little bells. :) Did lots of tweaking using curves and color fill layers to create the light, airy feel as well as converted the image to B&W. I then added a B&W texture overlay to which I added a very slight color tone. The light frame was added using several layer styles.

Beautiful work Christopher, I love the soft ethereal look to this. Nice color toning and the tiny bells are special.:)

This is super Christopher! Lovely artistic feel and blend of textures. Well done!!

Beautifully done, Christopher. Composition and treatment is lovely. :) K

I might give it a tighter crop with a little off the left and top but what a sweet, simple image. Isn't it funny how the simpler we want an image to be the more layers it takes to create it? :D;):D

Thanks for the comments, Denise, Kerry, Kora, and Jules. I appreciate it.

Never thought about that before, Jules, but come to think of it, you're right about simpler images requiring more layers. This particular image took about 15 layers to create. :D;)

i was thinking a slightly tighter crop also. i love the overall treatment. looks fantastic!! well worth all the work!!!

Like the framing, tones and subject...very well done

Christopher, I love the soft, ethereal quality you've achieved - especially the texture. Framing is very nice. I think I'd like a tighter crop but it's lovely as presented.

Thanks very much, Harold, Paul, and Cheryl. Appreciate the comments.

lovely. great airy feel. simple. nice tones. i think you like more centered images than i do. :)
