Inside the bloom

[Mark Fuge]

I don’t usually work with flowers, but this is not what it seems. Therefore, it fits my normal realm. ;)

Included in CS4 were; Poster Edge, Gaussian Blur, Accent Edges and brightness, tone & saturation adjustments.

Enjoy!

Mark, I love the color variations contrasting with the bg. Winged victory comes to my mind when I look at it:)

I think the composition is interesting. I'm not crazy about the blurry part up top. The colors are very nice.

Nice graphic look and I like the bold colors for this one, Mark. It does look more like winged victory than a floral.

Interesting composition, Mark. I like the bold colors in this. Nicely processed.

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

As noted, it is not a flower ... ;) I will post the original source image tomorrow, for those who do not identify it before then. :confused: It is a flip however. :D

Mark, it looks like the backside of a flamingo. Maybe consumed too many shrimp? But seriously, I think it needs just a bit of sharpness. Nice colors and flipping!

Thanks for viewing and comments, Kerry. Appreciate it.

As promised this is the original, unadulterated. ;) Sorry, you don't get the stuffed spoonbill award! :( :D
