Mexican Petunia in b & w

[Judy Howle]

I took the other petunia image posted in another theme and used Portrait Painter by jixipix, brought it back into Ps and used Exposure 5 same preset split tone that I used for the geese image with the addition of the frame. I also darkened the background area during my "transformation".

Hi, Judy, it's a beautiful transformation - almost looks like metal. I like the hint of a bud in the background and the framing is perfect for the image.

[Diane Miller]

This is just gorgeous, and I love the frame!

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Cheryl and Diane!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

This could have been for the last theme Judy. I like the warm/cool contrast in colours. The black BG is nice too, with just a hint of detail coming through.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Jackie. I didn't think of it last time.

[Christopher Miller]

Lovely image, Judy. Nice toning, and I like the tintype frame. Well done.

The water drops stand out beautifully. As someone commented, the effect of the colors is to make it look like metal--nice effect. The flower doesn't have quite enough definition for my taste, and the bud in the upper right corner, although lovely, pulls my eye in the wrong direction. The frame is perfect.

nice job, I love these plants, have 3 of my own and adore the flowers.

I actually do like the frame but my complaint is the corners of the frame I think detract and take away from the metal feel moving it more towards plastic on a scrapbook page.

The drops are so gorgeous by themselves I would leave it with that, very nice colors

Thanks for the comments Christopher, Anita, and Linz. I haven't been around much lately because I've been "under the weather" as they say.
