Another Fractalius blend with the Nik low key filter applied. This was a dried rose photographed on black velvet.

I really like this, Richard. I like how you kept some details in the leaves as well as in some of the petals. So much to keep your interest in this image.

Hi Richard, nice work with the filter. I also like the muted colors that add to the aged look. Nice diagonal composition and interesting placement with the flower at the bottom. Well done!

[Judy Howle]

Yes, as Kerry said, the composition is beautiful as well as the colors and your fract work is just perfect for the image. I especially like the way the leaves turned out.

Richard, A very nice balance between the original image and the fract effect. Your composition and the black BG both add to this.

[Christopher Miller]

Beautiful work, Richard. I like the composition and muted colors combined with the black BG, and the frac effect adds a lot too. I might remove the light line at the top center and the one coming out of the rose on the top left. Well done!

[Brendan Dozier]

Very well thought out and executed composition, Richard. The petals and leaves look great, nice touch with the filters to give an aged and classical look.

Hi Richard,
Very nice color tones and treatment of this subject. Delicate... Wonderful lighting and subtle texture in BG.

Thanks everyone.

This is really a beauty, Richard. Love the transformation of rose and the muted colors. Simply beautiful!
