Faces of Nature

[Mark Fuge]

This image was taken last year at Lion Country Safari. Thought the arangement of the flowers and leaves, along with the apparent faces, was interesting, so ...

Modifications in CS4 included; Selective Color, Highlight & Shadow, Topaz Adjust, DeNoise, Lens Effects (Vignette, Graduated ND filter), InFocus and other normal PS adjustments.

Enjoy!

Mark, I really like this one! Nice dark moody look to this. The framing goes well with the image.

[Judy Howle]

Very nice Mark. I like the dark tones and you framed it perfectly.

Interesting image Mark, I do see faces and even a whole creature on the bg. That leaf at the top really makes me think of a dragon or a snake. Very cool colors and processing!

[Dave Woeller]

I really like the light in this, and the colors are amazing. I too like the framing. It's a very dramatic image for sure.

wow... those are like faces from an alien movie! Awesome effect... excellent work, Mark.

[Brendan Dozier]

Real nice composition you created, Mark. Like the colors and dark tones to this, very nice!

[Cheryl Slechta]

Mark, I like everything about this! The light on the petals, the colors, the dramatic bg and esp the dragons and creatures

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

This just materialized, as I worked on it. Seemed to have a mind of its own, as it took me to the final image. Kind of like the sculpturer who removes all the waste material to find out what is really there.

Glad someone else saw the critters, Kerry. I saw two of them. One the large leaf on top and the other the head of a critter, with the open mouth, to the left of center. That's when I stopped working on it! :eek:
