Weekly Theme: Yellow Flowers

[Paul Lagasi]

Lets kick off blur theme..this is an image of readside flowers taken in western Canada.
First I took an image of the flowers, then I took a second identical image and interntionally did a vertical blur.
Using Topaz on the blurred image, I outlined the flower edges in black.
I pasted the non-blurry processed image over the top and adjusted my layers sliders so the background would show through.

Not really sure if it works...What do you think? This is done on my laptop, hope the colors came out like I wanted.
Thanks for looking.

I have added new images to my blog....

Hi Paul, I think this worked really well and resulted in a unique and interesting image. Love the flow of the colors and the juxtaposition of the outlined flowers and the blur. Cool!

Paul, I think it works great. I love the colors - it reminds me of batik or tie dyed silk. Loverly
