Another "imagined" walk in the woods…
Started with flower silhouette and in CS5 used find edges filter and clipped various texture masks. Blended with three BG textures and applied various blend modes. This is one of the variations… Then flipped, mirrored, transformed and shifted to avoid crosshatch creatures. :S3:
All C&C welcome.
Lovely image.
Steve, this reminds me of a beautiful wallpaper image in a hotel or restaurant...lovely effects, colors and composition...well done
I like it as well...although I find myself wishing I could see a bit more of the image on both ends so the branches that are lopped off were included. The colors are beautiful and the matte look is very nice as well. I also could see this being a wallpaper at a very expensive hotel! You were very inventive with your post-processing and I think it really paid off.
Steve, definitely looks like expensive wallpaper. I like the textures and the muted colors a lot.:S3:
Wonderful composition, Steve. Love the colors and the effect. I too wish for more on either sides! Excellent processing!
Beautiful and creative. The colors are fabulous! As are the shapes. I love the look of this--the interplay of colors, the overlapping of shapes, the textures. I hadn't noticed the trees on each side until Julie mentioned them, then they started to bother me a bit. But, not a big deal. I admire your creativity.
Very creative Steve! I am really liking this style you have come up with. Nice work with the textures and I too hadn't noticed the clipped branches till I read Jules comment. Hmm. not sure if they are distracting or add balance???
Thanks folks! Always appreciate your comments and suggestions. Very helpful!
This is really quite incredible. Give yourself an A+ in creativity and processing. I love the colors as a whole and how they increase in intensity from the top to the bottom of the image. The curves of the foreground flowers and the verticals, below, are very strong. Perhaps that's why having the ones on the edge clipped doesn't bother me at all. Like the dark ones above, they help to keep my eyes in the image. But really, I want to stay and look at it, anyway.
