Lily Pad

[Judy Howle]

This is one of my favorites of the lotus pads I've been working on. Pixel Bender and Topaz Adjust.

So cool Judy! I love it. The colors and the effect are excellent. Nicely framed.

[Glenda Simmons]

I like it. Very interesting effets!

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Denise and Glenda!

[Christopher Miller]

Awesome effect, Judy! Love all the water drops and the dark blue BG sets off the lily pad perfectly. Very nicely done!

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Christopher. That was actually the water. I took the photo at sunset so the water was very dark. Of course Topaz enhanced the blue color and contrast but I may have painted over the background at lowered opacity but since I have processed over 50 lily pad photos so far, I'm not positive but I think this was one of several I painted over to tone down the squiggles from Pixel Bender.

Judy, it is one of my favorites too. The detail and colors are so interesting... I really like the way the eye is pulled into the center. I like the combination of organic and graphic looks and those fantastic squiggles... :cool:

Judy, Lovely lily. The deep blue surround adds a richness and contrast. Great use of Pixel bender!
