Bi-Color

This image was a CombineZP merge of nine separate images to get the extreme depth of field and then the Nik Bi-Color filter was applied to get the colors seen.

Alstroemeria come in such a great array of colors. The addition of the bi-color filter is lovely. Excellent sharpness and comp.:S3:

Denise,

Thanks for the kind words and the name of the flower. My wife and I were trying to remember the name. She knew it began with the letter "A" but that's as far as we got. :S3:

Really lovely image, Richard! I particularly like the use of the bi-color filter here.

Love everything about it, Richard! Great work. :S3:

Here is a pixel bender version that is probably closer to what is expected in the OOTB forum.

Nine images! wow, Richard... excellent depth and color. Love that bg.

Very nice Richard, love the colors and the sharpness!

Gorgeous!!! Great job with the taking and merging of 9 shots. The detail is beautiful. I especially love the glow of this flower. The bg is just perfect. I prefer the OP. Wonderful colors. There is something about the position of the flower that feels a bit off, but i can't figure out what it is. A glowingly beautiful image!!!

This is outstanding, Richard! Nice work with the 9 image merge, the colors, and light glow look great. Excellent composition, and like the repost. Very well done! :5

Thanks Indranil, Andrew, Anita and Brendan. It's much appreciated.

CombineZP did all the work on the merge... I just pointed and clicked with my mouse. :S3:
