This began as a simple image of a yellow rose in my backyard garden. After flipping and few iterations of topaz adjust and topaz clean, it took on a personality of its own.
Maureen, That is one of the fun things about flips-they sort of take on a personality of their own as you mentioned. I love the gold color tones and the interesting pattern. The Topaz Clean adds a nice touch too. I see a bunch of different faces and I could see this as a large print-nicely done.
I can't decide if it's the head of a praying mantis or a very old piece of chinese art work. Either way...I LOVE this! The textures and angles make it so interesting to look at and the golden hues are deep and draw the viewer in. Very rich looking!
Wow, Maureen, this really cool & very interesting to look at! Love the rich golden color and intricate designs that you created with flipping & Topaz. This flipping technique kind of reminds me of fractal geometry and how nature organizes and designs itself. There are infinite, designs & patterns that can be created. Definitely activates a sense of wonder. Nicely done!
