Water Blur Abstract

[denise ippolito]

I took this at Venice Rookery. It was my first time at the Rookery and there were only a few birds. Artie suggested we shoot some water blurs:) So of course I joined in. I added some texture through the color channels in photoshop.

Denise this is beautiful but I can't help but laugh because I worked on an image almost IDENTICAL to this one last night but I just couldn't get it quite right. Color channels you say? Probably the only thing I didn't try. Gotta go! ;)

Love the added texture and the colors are super!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Beautiful D! Can you explain about adding texture in the channels a bit??

[denise ippolito]

Thanks folks for looking in. I appreciate the feedback
Paul, Glad you're back-

Sure Jackie, If you go to filter> Render>lighting effects> and then go under the texture channels it will add some texture to the different color channels that you choose. You can adjust the opacity .:)

Denise - This is so beautiful, I love the lines and contrasting colors. Thanks for the tip on adding texture under lighting effects - it's really neat - something else to play with:)

Beautiful color scheme and flow to this, Denise. Interesting texture effect, I'll have to give it a try. Very well done! :)
