Valentine Bouquet

[Judy Howle]

I used lots of filters and layers on this one including Nik Color Efex twice with different presets, Perfect Effects on one layer, Topaz Simplify on one layer, added a slight vignette plus 2 Swoon the Moon textures with heavier vignetting and at lowered opacity. I masked the roses on one.

Nice bouquet Judy, it makes a lovely Valentine. I like the saturated colors and deep blacks. The vignette really keeps the eye where you want it. Good job!

Thanks Kerry!

Judy, the subtle textures work well and I really like the dark vignette. It's a very lush looking bouquet

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Cheryl! I worked on it and added a slight Fractalius effect. I think it improves it a little, especially the background and leaves. I also cropped a slice off the bottom.

Judy, I think I like it better too and I think the crop from the bottom was a good idea

Thanks Cheryl!
