Past Its Prime

This is an old flower that I photographed a few months ago, and decided to make into an IR image. I'm really liking this technique! :) To create the IR look, I used the tutorial I linked to in my previous post, The Old Barn in IR. I also blurred and evened out the BG some, and added a vignette.

Any comments and suggestions would be most appreciated!

Christopher, I really like this a lot. I like the detail in some of the petals and their flow:)

Lovely image to begin with! I like those softly curving petals and the angle you chose. The pp works really well here. I might tone down that one petal in the 10 o'clock position. Very nice!

Another, I like it!;) It's simply radiant. Good work, good technique.

Christopher, Count me in the group that likes this! I really like the artistic flow of the petals. I might tone down a few areas if it were mine. The veins in the petals are fantastic!

Thanks everyone! Here's a repost with a few areas toned down a little bit as suggested.

I like the repost better. Very nice work! I'll have to try your tutorial sometime.

Repost is great!!

Whoa man, your repost addresses the suggestions and it works fabulously. Now I need to find your tutorial mate. This really rocks! :)

It looks good Christopher.:)

Thanks very much, everyone! :)
