Lupines

[Keith Carver]

Lupines in June at Grand Manan, NB, early morning light. PP: vignetting using Color Efex vignetting tool followed by Topaz Simplify and Clean filtering.

Keith, I love Lupines and the vignette looks nice. The Clean filtering reminds me a bit of Fractalius on this one. Nice filtering and colors! I might evict the one spot at the top of the vignette-I know it's suppose to be there but it keeps catching my eye. Nice work.

Denise nailed the critique for me. I do have to add that it made me take a deep breath in - I wanted to smell spring so badly! This really makes the dreary winter day harder to take!

Keith, this has a nice graphic look to it which I like. I'd like to see it without the vignette (or a fainter smaller one) also.:)

Cheryl - In the repost, I used a fainter vignette. Because of the edge vegetation that now creeps in, I'm not sure whether I like this more than the ORIG, though. What do you think?

Denise - I did evict the spot at the top - and like the result better. Thanks!

Keith, I like the original vignette and fixing the spot at the top should make it great:)

Keith, wonderful effect on the lupines. It does looks a little like fractalius. I prefer the original post and agree withthe spot removed will look even more wonderful. very nicely done!
