Bear Grass Meltdown

[denise ippolito]

I originally posted this shot in Macro- but it had an OOF second bloom so I cloned it out and it looked bare so I worked on it for hours trying to do a photo merge. I started to meltdown and decided to reflect that in my shot.
PS I hope I posted in the right catagory.

This was my other rendition which do you prefer? or none is fine

Denise: I think the first post is a stronger one. I like the way the bear grass is melting into the BG and there is a nice light on it. Did you desaturate this? I like the muted colors. Really nice job.

Yes I desaturated it and added a warming filter then adjusted temp.Thanks for the feeeback

I agree...the first one is definitely the stronger image. The "meltdown" looks like the fluff is taking off for parts unknown.

Nicely done!

Another vote for the first one, good idea to colorize and liquify at the same time :}
