The Flower and The Feather

[Mark T Helm]

I just got sort of creative with this image of a flower caught in a spider plant flower.

Mark, Big Welcome to OOTB. Lovely first post. I think the colors are wonderful and the filtering is done very well. I think you turned this composition into a work of art. Nicely done. I might tone down the 2 brightest spots in the image if it were mine. Again, welcome.

Mark, welcome to OOTB! The textures are wonderful, esp in the bg - it looks like an Old Master's painting.
I agree with Denise about the 2 brightest spots. I hope you post lots more (Canada is well represented with creative people in OOTB).

Welcome, an outstanding introduction. How did you get the effects?

Welcome, Mark. Great first post. Wonderful colors and details. Fun combo with the feather detail. I'm going to guess you used some Pixel Bender - Oil???

Hello Mark and welcome! Looks like you struck oil with this one for sure. I really like the nice dark colors and I'm a big fan of PBO. It would be nice to see a tiny bit of detail in the darkest areas. Nice job and keep them coming! Check out our workflow and useful links sticky at the top of the page for more ideas if you like!
