Katerina's Stolen Rose

[kostas nianiopoulos]

This rose has it's own history. It's stolen by a guy 78-80 years his name is Babis and and he has give it to my friend Katerina witch she is verry pretty girl 23 years old . Mr. Babis do this thing often , he has found a garden with flowers , he goes there , he gets some and brings to her to the store where she works . Some times i go there to the store and i get few flowers to get some images in home . So this is the way i got this rose .
I asked Katerina to ask him where is this great garden to go and get some images but still i have no news about it .

The BG is almost natura here the green and yellow colours are comes across my balcony from few tress there is there and as this season a lot leafs are fall down , some becoms yellow or brown , thats why i have this BG . The thing i done here , i have clone some dark places and i have , give a bit of blur , the red border colour is from some new brushes i got for PS CS5 (flame brushes ).
All made in PS CS5 ext. version .

thanks for watching .

Kostas, Nice to see you experimenting with the smoke brushes. I like the unusual color combo. The composition seems awkward to me. You got some good details on your rose.:)

Kostas, I love the background story (and the background in the image). I think I'd rather see the green leaf in one of the bottom corners to anchor it. The smoke brushes are very cool (another reason to buy CS5):) The flower is lovely and seems to glow from the inside.

Kostas, This is very pretty! I love the light and exposure on the rose - just perfect! And I like all of the bright colors too. Enjoyed the story.
