    Default In-Camera Painting

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Canon 1D Mark III
    100 mm Macro lens
    1/40 sec. at f/4
    ISO 400
    Manual Mode
    Manual Focus
    HH
    Natural light

    I took an image of this Dahlia and was manually focusing when I decided to keep it a bit sift to get a painterly look for the theme. I did this a few times before liking the results-most of them just looked blurry. Let me know your thoughts.:)

    This is beautiful, Denise. Love the soft colors, swirls and the formed shapes. Agree with your assessment just enough blur to make it feel like brush strokes. Excellent composition and technique.

    I love this dreamy image. Quite abstract and could be a representation of anything one wants. Love the soft tones and colours. Could quite see it hanging on the wall of a modern house in a very large size.

    Denise, I love the colors and the curves - there are so many different things to explore.

    Love it! Great idea and great execution. I like the gorgeous colors and light, and all those lines and curves. I wish the out of focus pink to the left of center were a little less prominent as it pulls my eye. Really beautiful.

    Love the colors and the softness. And the dreamy look. A monitor crop from the bottom eliminating about half of the distance from the frame edge to the bottom of the left hand (our left) purple petal strengthens this a ton IMO :)

    Very clever and I agree with a crop from the bottom.
    Cheers, Jay

    Thanks guys, I think I will leave this one as is. Artie, I am sure you are right about the crop but I have to follow my own vision for this.:) I do appreciate the feedback.
