Jpeg kinda slaughtered this one (too much fine detail), but here it is anyway...
Started with a shot of 4 dahlias... a series of topaz simplfy, clean & LAB curves got me to a chiaroscuro, cartoon... flipped, scaled, cropped, merged (mostly lighter color) my way to the final... (maybe 50 layers )
Hi Michael,
Very colorful & energetic design you have created. I only wish for a bit of room on both the left & right side of the image. Of course that is a matter of personal preference. Nice job & worthy of the 50 layers or so.
This must be mind boggling at a larger size! Great how the flowers multiply and expand as one moves outward from the center. 50 layers would probably explode my computer !
Nancy, I actually had to downrez a couple of times... I used to make large panos for grins (I think I topped out at about 500MP...) but quit since I never printed one large (hence the downrezing). Yep, does stress the computer, I'm due to upgrade soon ...
