Harvest Mum

[denise ippolito]

I wanted this mum to look festive and I also wanted to use some autumnal color tones. I decided to use the same Brushstroke texture that I used in my previous post. I also used Fractalius to add some glow and webbing. I also some adjustments in PS. I cropped it to place the center of the mum close to the ROT position. Hope you like it.

The colors are beautiful! I like the interior glow and the texture. Very nice autumn creation.

Hi Denise;

I'm all over the place with this image...more specifically the processing. I love the fall colors, the composition, and there's areas where I really like the processing...the upper portions with that beautiful orange/yellow glow...the larger petals of the Mum where it highlights the structure...I wish it had faded almost to a gray on the tips of the flower closest to the center...it's a beautiful image, just wished it had maintained more of that incredibly vibrant color through some of the processing, but that's a matter of personal preference. Keep those flowers coming!

HI Denise....beautiful colors and geometry going here. If it were mine i would crop off some of the lighter petals at the bottom.

Beautiful composition, Denise. I like the colors and your processing takes it to another level! Excellent work.

Thanks folks! I appreciate the comments.

I like this a lot, Denise. The textures and effects are very beautiful. I tried taking a small slice off the lower edge and like that too.

Really well done, Denise, has nice warm soft glow to it, looks candle lit. Nicely composed and there's a gentle 3D effect of it kind of radiating out of the frame. Very nicely done!

Denise, a little late getting around to this one, been very busy. I love it, wouldn't change a thing!

Great fall colors! Lovely lines and composition. Wish the brightness were more on the center of the flower (ROT position). Wonder what the original looks like.
