Longwood Orchid
Just trying out a new technique that I have been working on. Susan Candelario helped me with some of the issues I was having with the look. I want to create something that looks more like an artists rendition than a photograph. I hope to perfect this technique and create my own action so that I can repeat it. Please let me know your thoughts as I am interested in others views.
I like the image subject and the technique. It does have depth making it look 3D. Do I see a bokeh texture in there? I like it.
Judy, Thanks for the feedback. Yes a slight bokeh texture.
Here it is w/o the fract and the bokeh.

I like it. I have no idea how you accomplished the effect, but I'd like to know.
As I mentioned in another thread that I wanted to see how PC treated a fairly uniform pattern. This image seemed like a good Guinea Pig. Thanks, Denise. Not trying to hijack the thread. Please move the post, if needed.
All I did was make the image square, cropping off the bottom, apply the PC filter and add a Soft Light blend ~30% for drama. And, clone out the black vertical line down the middle from top to center.
I think it is amazing how these filters work together to create unique and interesting images.

Douglas, Very creative! I like how you took this up a notch! I will be more than happy to give my complete instructions once I "pin them down":)
Great technique, Denise! I like it a lot. Love the colors and the wavy, textured look. Very curious to know how you created the effect.
As far as the color goes, I would like something between the two, but I love the headless dancing witch in the yellow robes. ALOT.

Whatever methods you used Denise, I like the end result very much and look forward to more information on what you did.
Thank you all for your kind comments. I am still working on the steps
Truly different and creative Denise, and I like it a lot. I see the same thing that Artie does in this one - a dancing figure with no head! Really nice combination of effects and you definitely came up with an artistic look and feel. Super!

Denise, I have no idea what you did but I love it. Its very creative and I love the flow. The only thing I find distracting is the one thin fuschia line in the top middle of the yellow.

Thanks folks, Cheryl-good eyes, thanks:)
I see the dancing figure but she has a head and some really wild hair. :D
This is really cool, Denise! This almost looks like something painted on an animal hide.
Great effect! Looks alien to me....Love to know how your are doing this!
Ken and Bob, Thanks so much. I appreciate it.:)
