Out of the Box Image of the Week for the week ending June 21st, 2013: Nancy Bell - Poppy
Congratulations Nancy!
I traveled with my husband to southern Colorado and planned to photograph alpine wildflowers while he attended a weekend Wilderness workshop. Lo and behold, spring had not yet sprung there! Back in town I found a wind-bedraggled bed of poppies next to a run-down, abandoned shed. I took one poppy back to my hotel and photographed from just inside my ground floor room, trying to find shelter from the wind. The whitish bkgd is a cement walk. Actually I had a great time experimenting with this high-key look. I added a bit of Topaz buz sim, a bit of Pixel Bender and a bit of Fractalius. Finished off with image borders from Nik Efex Pro.
