Hi guys, this flower (on a flowering tree) was captured at the LA County Arboretum with my new 1D4, which I love dearly... :bg3: As I was working on the image, using Topaz filters (DeNoise, Detail, Adjust) I noticed how there were a few highlights that might work with the new Star Effects filter from Topaz. I played with the filter a bit and found that I could remove all but one of the stars, which is on the stamen in the center. Sorry, but I don't know what tree this was...
Look's like the camera is a keeper, lovely sharp detail's in the flower, background is very nice and I like the little star for effect...cool, well done
Really nice touch with the starburst, Kerry. Beautiful image, nice detail and beautiful complimentary background. What kind of tree?
Maureen, I did my homework and I believe this is a Hong Kong Orchid Tree - Bauhinia blakeana. One of the many exotic and beautiful species of plants at the arboretum.
Excellent composition, Kerry! Love the shape, color, light, and BG compliments bloom very well. Nicely processed and star effect is a great touch.
Kerry, Excellent use of the StarEffects filter, I love the background and the color combo! Congrats on the new camera!! Have a great workshop at what I can imagine is a super location!
Excellent composition, Kerry. Love the colors and the star effect is beautiful. Congrats on the new 1D4. What lens did you use?
Nice subtle touch added by the star to a fine image
Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate them! Indranil, this was captured with the EF28-135mm@117mm, ISO 800, 1/640@f/5.6.
Congrats on the new camera! I love the composition and colors, and the starburst works well here. That is a beautiful bloom!
