    Default Extruded Zinnia

    There are so many looks you can get with the extrude filter. I used blocks, pixel 5, depth 30, level based for this
    one which is a lot more subtle but the extrude added some nice texture. I added canvas on the right side and repaired the end of one of the petals.

    Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated:)

    Love the colors, so-so on the effect. Adding canvas to the left side would improve it.

    Very subtle Cheryl. Nice contrasting BG and subject. Like the flat BG and the 3D on the flower.

    Great idea color and image, Cheryl! Not sure what the term would be, but the BG reminds me of when paint starts to crackle :confused: Love the effect.:)

    Cheryl, I love it. The colors and the subtle extrude work look great. I agree w/ Artie that a bit more room on left would be nice. Steve's term for the background is exactly the way that I would try to describe it. Nice work!!

    Thanks, guys and gals. It is a crackle glaze in ceramics. I don't know what you call it when paint crackles but that's what I thought of also:)

    Lovely colors and image Cheryl! The crackled enamel look is pretty cool. I might be tempted to lighten the center of the flower just a tad.
