Another Version Of My Tree

[denise ippolito]

I created this image from my last tree post. I used Flexify to created the twirled look. I also inverted it and added a texture and played with the colors. I added the black background and I hope you like it as much as I do.

Not sure why I am reminded of a black hole...almost like everything is getting sucked into it...too much Star Trek I guess, lovely pattern and colors, cool boarder ...well done

[John Storjohann]

Love the color palette you chose for this one...I'm not sure about the "root ball"...it's a strong compositional element, and it does add balance...mulling that one over. I love the backdrop directly behind the tree...it reminds me of the classic "Earth Rise" shot from Apollo 8...very nicely done!

Hi denise...This is a very strong image for me...very surreal! Very nice work! What is flexify?

Hi Paul and John, thank you for your comments.

Hi Bob, thank you. Flexify is a Photoshop plug-in by Flaming Pear, it changes the shape of your images.

Fabulous colors & lines! Lots of energy that makes me think of the kind of tornado that sent Dorothy into the Land of Oz!

[Maureen Allen]

What fun, Denise! I think I may have to check out this Flexify filter. I'll probably be up all night messing around with it

[Hazel Grant]

Yes, the flexify seems very interesting. changed the shape but left the sharpness. Still mulling over the offset black border. interesting blue background reminds me of a great storm at sea.

Denise, I love the blue background, it really makes the image work for me. I like the effect of the Flexify filter, I may have to play with that myself. The detail in the tree is excellent. I think you created a great image you should be proud of. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Fantastic creation!

Denise, very, very cool - it has a surreal look to it. My favorite part is the brown and blue color combination.

[Judy Howle]

Love the Flexify effect and the colors, very surreal and creative thinking!

Hi Denise, sorry being so late to the party. I love the creativity here and the colors are perfect. I'll have to give flexify I try one day.
