    Default Magnolia Flower

    I decided to walk around the yard today and see what was blooming. This is one of the flowering trees that we acquired when we bought our house. It is a magnificent specimen, though messy!!

    Modifications in PS4, Topaz & Fractalius included; DeNoise5; InFocus; Lens Effects; Fractalius and Accent Edges. I removed the BG and substituted a BLK layer.

    Enjoy!

    Mark, Seems a bit bright in some areas but it really does pop off the page. I like the comp. but might prefer a hint of a stem.But that might be my vision and not yours.

    Mark, this looks nice with the black bg and white framing. Magnolias are such beautiful flowers and I love the seed pods

    Thanks Denise and Cheryl for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

    Sorry Denise but, while it had stems, they were not aesthetically pleasing, as there were a lot of less appealing branches in the way. Therefore, they went for relief of my artistic judgment!

    Cheryl, this is the first time we’ve had Magnolias. But, as they are throughout our development I presume they will return here in many forms in the future.

    Hi Mark, nice treatment and colors but a bit too bright for my eyes. I would tone it down a bit. My eye is wishing for a bit more detail, but that seems to be common these days!

    Thanks Kerry for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

    I guess we are "birds of a feather", as at our age details are less visible!

    Unfortunately the process to soften it removes details that once were there.

    Got to find an eye doctor in our new area!
