Framed Magnolia

[Judy Howle]

The magnolia was from last Spring. I used Topaz Clean on the blossom and a vignette. I added 2 textures on top of it and I had gotten the background texture last week and wanted to use it because I think it's cool and I like the asymmetrical look even though others may not agree . I created a duplicate of the blossom layer and used 2 different blend modes on them.

Beautiful composition, Judy. The Magnolia just stands out with that bg. Love the soft light. I think your use of asymmetrical frame is totally OOTB and takes it to another level.

Thanks Indranil!

Judy, Very nicely processed. I like the unique framing and the colors of the frame add nicely to the richness of the Magnolia bloom. I love it!!

Judy, very nice! I agree with Denise that the frame color compliments the image quite nicely.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Denise and Andrew!

Beautiful image, Judy! I love the vintage frame; it complements the beauty and elegance of the flower perfectly. It's very lovely!

Judy, no disagreement here. I love everything about this image! The flower is beautiful and I love the way you faded the background to black. That framing just puts it over the top for me. Excellent!

The offset is super cool, Judy! Great image and processing.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad you like the frame texture!

Judy, I think it's all been said above. It's a lovely image -I especially like the topaz effect on the magnolia
