Swan Lake

[nzmacro]

Taking a macro of a small flower pistil into Photoimpact. Awww heck, added a swirl effect to the main image, added flood, added a sphere to the top of the pistil, copied the main image in. Distorted using perspective tools, pasted in, added a couple of spheres and a couple of shadows. 3 coffees and 3 beers

All the best folks.

Danny.

Danny, I'm enjoying your work a lot...in this instance, I love the primary image...the sphere at the top of the pistil is such a strong focal point, and so well done..the two spheres and the copy of the image add some interest to the composition, but the primary image could easily stand on its own as well..it might have been interesting to "dim" the image copy a bit, and soften the edges (just thinking out loud!)...love this series of images. Well done!

Danny, Great looking main image and I agree with John's points but I do admire your creative vision and think that you have inspired me to step out of the box a little bit more. Great work!

Another amazing image! And it all started with that pistil! Love your work!

Amazing! I'm loving those yellows. Fabulous curves, curls, balls. What an imagination. I'd be interested in seeing the original image.

Danny, another amazing image. The pistil looks like a hand rising from the water holding a golden earth (and I haven't had a beer yet) Beautifully done.
