Can't really remember the workflow. (long work week:)) Frac B and W. Various belnding modes and some textures added. Used Jules Paint the Light action from Action Central.
Comments Appreciated. Thanks.
Jackie, I love the colors and the frac. work. The textures look really good and add lots of interest. I'm wishing that there was a great big curved stem to fill the right side and give it some balance. Very beautiful effect you achieved.
that's my favorite flower, jacks!! love the gerberas. i like the work you did here with the frac and the textured bg. for me, the color looks a bit much for the muted bg. i'm wondering if it might look better if the colors of the flower were softened?
Thanks for the comments everyone. D, I had the gerbera standing up using a sleeve and I thought the stem looked a little weird so I cloned it out. Maybe a different crop. Harold I usually agree with you but I liked the bright and sombre together:)
Beautiful colors and effects, Jackie. Defying compo that I'm not going to complain about :)
The most traditional approach would be to show the other edges if we consider the orientation of the center.
But this is not exactly the capital of tradition, is it? :p:D
Beautiful Gerbera, Jackie! I like the addition of the small stem - it helps anchor the image IMO. The BG texture is perfect for this - the two really blend well together.
Lovely work, Jackie! Nice effect on the flower, and love the colors and texture. Crop is quite different and I like it. Not sure whether I like the original or the repost better, they both look good.
Another Gerbera
