Filter abuse - water lilies

[Cheryl Slechta]

I had worked on this during flower week and never posted it but I definitely used some filters!
(It's not IR - just turned into b&W - I promise I'll post something with color soon:))
I used frosted glass, contrast color range, fract shaggy, then Topaz Simplify>edges mono line inverse color, then a cyan photo filter to bring a little tint back.

Thanks for looking.

I love the final result after all that filter abuse. I especially like the bold lines around the flower petals which sets them off nicely.

Cheryl, I really like the B&W look to this. It reminds me of one of my favorite skirts. Just a tiny bit tight on the right.:) I love it!

Cheryl, I don't have a skirt that looks anything like that, but I like it! :D:D:D I like the monochrome glowing edge effect you got and the blend of abstract and familiar. Reminds me a lot of scratch art, which I think is going to have to be a theme some day... :cool: Nice work!

[Cheryl Slechta]

Patti, Denise and Kerry, thanks for your kind words. I wish I had a skirt like this myself:)

[Judy Howle]

Very creative! You really worked those filters. :) I like the black and white graphic look.

Nuce image and application, Cheryl

I like the line work of this and maybe would intensify the color just a tad, but ...

Cheryl, I don't have a skirt that looks anything like that, but I like it! :D:D:D!

Did you get rid of your print skirt, Kerry? ;) :D :D :D

Hi Cheryl, very nice effect. Very much a sketch art style. B&W makes this work well.
