Lotus Pad

[Judy Howle]

Another of my lotus pads with Topaz and Pixel Bender.

Judy, I love the effect that PB has put on this lotus pad. I like the water too. The very bottom edge has a slight straight line look that I might fix. I am going to have to try this filter-maybe when I get home today.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Denise. I think what you are seeing is the "frame effect" of PB which is on all the edges. That's all I see anyway. If you use PB you will get that so if you don't want it, crop a little bigger to start with and then chop it off. I like it for most images but on at least one I removed it.

Thanks Judy, Good to know.

Judy, Great PB effect and the reflection is so interesting. Thanks for the heads up on the border fix (when needed)

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Steve!

Nice work, Judy! Love the PB effect on both the lotus pad and water. Great colors too. Well done.

Hi Judy, I think this looks really cool. You have a nice style with the filters and I love the yellow/green against the dark blue/red background. I like the little items that look like small turtles or coots. :cool:

Beautiful composition and work with the filter, Judy. We can see a style emerging here! Very nice colors and effects.

Thanks Kerry. Those are bubbles in the water. Most ended up not looking like bubbles, kind of weird!

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Indranil! Yes I like the combination of PB and Topaz. You never know what you will get when you apply them and sometimes it's a happy surprise and sometimes NOT!
