    Default White Beauties

    I did this a few days ago. I think I used Topaz Clean and a native Ps filter on it like paint daubs. I added a dark green texture with darker edges and masked the flower. I also added a texture to make it resemble watercolor paper. I thought of cropping some off the bottom, what do you think?

    Judy, I love the filtering you did on this one. Beautiful blossoms. I think I agree with you that a little off the bottom would help, perhaps to eliminate the darkest areas? Very nice work!

    Judy, I like this a lot. I might crop a sliver but no more off the bottom. I like seeing some stems it kind of anchors it to me. Nice job with the filter.

    Hi Judy, nice application of one of my favorite filters. I'm liking the effect and colors. I agree that you don't need much off the bottom, better to my eye to extend the stems that disappear into black to the bottom of the frame. I think this would be pretty easy and would make for a stronger image. Thanks for posting Judy!

    Very nice repost, Judy. The colors/texture/glow are wonderful.

    Wow Judy! This is really nice, and great use of Topaz Clean. The dark green BG really brings out blossoms well. Nice job!

    Very lovely lighting and painted look, Judy. Definitely looks better with a little off the bottom. Nice work!
