DAP'ed Rose

[Indranil Sircar]

Another one for Dave... This is a Hybrid Tea taken at Portland Rose Garden. For processing, I used multiple layers of painting effect and then used masks to open up the rose selectively. Hope you like it...

I like what you did to the background with DAP. Were the multiple layers different presets?

Thanks Dennis. Here is the snapshot of my layers -

Thank you for the shapshot. That was helpful.

[Paul Lagasi]

Nice work, like the effect..well done

[Kerry Perkins]

Nice effect Indranil. I would suggest leaving a bit more of the painterly effect on the rose itself, as it is quite nice in the bg but not very strong on the flower.

[Bob Miller]

HI Indranil....I vote for leaving more of the effect on the rose...also a softer lighting on the rose!

[Nancy Bell]

DAP really creates some cool effects. You could experiment for a bit more drama on the flower itself. Maybe more DAP effects as other suggested, or maybe a little more saturation of the rose colors.

I like it ! the rose being masked pulls me into the flower it self .The Tea rose is my fave of all roses !

[Indranil Sircar]

Thank you all. I appreciate it. As suggested here is a repost with more DAP effect/drama on the flower...

Hi, Indranil, I like the repost better. I was going to be a vote for more DAP on the rose
