Theme: High Key Rose

[Christopher Miller]

The original color of this rose was red. I converted to B&W using just the red channel to give it the high key look. I then applied an orton effect, added a slight color tone, and added a bit of a white vignette. Any C&C are welcome!

Christopher..well done! You created a wonderful feel to the image using lighting and the various effects. I like the sharpness blending into a softer look. Not concerned about the centering since it works well in this case. Good job!!

Christopher, Really nice work here! I like the conversion and the orton adds a nice softness and slight glow. You still have plenty of detail where needed. I like the slight hint of color also. Well done!

I love this result Chris - now I need to go do some research on the effects you mentioned!!

[Dave Phillips]

nice bit of work Chris.
For my taste wish the shadows were not quite so deep/dark

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the comments. Dave, I'll see what I can do about the shadows.
