Bamboo painting
I created this from a bamboo forest image I had taken last year. Selected the lower section and then used Topaz remask to isolate and individual sections and the leaves. Scaled them accordingly and layered on a DAP/Topaz created bg to resemble rice paper. Used Sumi-e filter to get the final effect. Hope you like it...

I love it! Very nicely executed. I do Topaz but what is DAP?
Thanks Barbara. DAP is Dynamic Auto-Painter. Here is the link http://www.mediachance.com/dap/index.html
I'll check it out. Thanks, Indranil!
No Mac version it seems. I'll stick to Alien Skin Snap Art.......
Indranil, Very nicely done. The composition is great and the BG adds a sense of calm. I might clean-up the one side of the middle bamboo. This has a real Asian feel to it. Well done.
Nice image and application Indranil.
Only comment is I might delete (with the misting effect) the very bottom of the bamboo sticks, to ballance with the top open area. Touching the border does not seem right to me. But ...
Your image ... your vision! ;)
Very well done and balanced Indranil. I would do just the opposite of Mark, I would crop the top down so that the bamboo disappears out of the frame. The bottom seems OK as an origin of the canes.
Denise, Mark, Dan, thanks a lot for the feedback. Here is the first repost just as Dan has suggested getting the bamboo to disappear out of the frame... also cleaned one side of the bamboo as Denise suggested.
Here is the second posting with the bamboo not touching the frame...
I definitely agree with Dan - cropping a bit from the top is the way to go...it really balances this wonderful piece. Love the rice paper BG and the diagonal position of the bamboo. Lovely work, Indranil.
Indranil, I agree w/ Dan. The repost looks great.:)
Like the second with the bamboo cropped at the top. Nicely placed in the frame Indranil, and I like the textured BG.
Indranil, I like the second repost. I like the diagonal placement of the bamboo and the bg is really nice:)

wonderful minimalism Endranil.. for me, your last second works well. Great diagonals and nice bold lines. Very well done, I like this one alot :)
The second repost does it for me. I would agree with the first repost, if the bottom were out of the frame as well. But given that it is open on the bottom, I prefer the second where the bottom is opened up to complement the open spacing on the top.
Different visions for different folks! But ...
Your image ... your vision.
Indranil, this first repost is working for me. The bottom IMO is ok as it shows the viewer where the cane originate, the ground. The top now allows the viewer to imagine the tall,tall canes reaching high. Good work tideing up also.Originally Posted by Indranil Sircar
Thanks all for the feedback. Appreciate it a lot.
Great repost, minimalistic and elegant!
Agree with above...fine work Indranil....
Ditto for all of the above from me as well Indranil. The bamboo really fits the theme and I love the way you have composed the image. I like the second one best, but all three are keepers.
