Grevillea "Superb"

[Indranil Sircar]

Earlier today I visited UC Santa Cruz Arboretum... they have a spectacular collection of native Australian, New Zealand and South African plant and flower collection. This one is from a collection of Grevillea flowering plant. I used a 100mm macro on 5D Mk3 in manual mode. For processing, I used a layer of fractalius and few other adjustment layers. Hope you like it...

Love the graduation of color from bottom to top. Visually weighted very nicely. The processing is affective for the form of the plant. i quite like this one.

[Diane Miller]

Just lovely! This one dances! And, as said, the color gradation is wonderful.

[Maureen Allen]

Very dramatic and pretty, Indranil.

[Dennis Bishop]

This is a great application of Fractalius, and I like that the background isn't solid black. I think a bit more room at the top would be good.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Hi, Indranil, great fract work. I agree with Dennis about the background color and a little more room at the top would be nice

[Kerry Perkins]

Nicely done Indranil! You have really mastered the Fractalius beast, not an easy task! I see you looking for those dark backgrounds - way to go.

[Anita Bower]

This works very well with the fractilus. Love the red and green against black. A dynamic flower and image.

[Indranil Sircar]

As suggested, I will add a bit of space on the top. Thank you all... I appreciate it!

Way to go Indranil, I've seen and photographed these flowers before but always found they needed a bit of zip. Fractilus is that zip, love the progression of colors...well done
