Oriental Lily
Thought I'd post one more before Christmas. This oriental lily had some offending leaves and stems evicted in PS. Then it was processed in nik color effects "bleach bypass" and tweaked in Viveza. I added a small stroke for the web because of the white background. I just wish I had captured the lower leaf ends in the original shot. Merry Christmas to all.
Very lovely image, Dave. I love the contrasty look of the flower and the high-key BG, and the colors and details are beautiful. I agree with you on the lower leaf, but other than that, I think it's perfect.
Merry Christmas to you, too, Dave! Very nice use of the bleach bypass filter. Love the lighting.
Dave, The minute I saw it I said Bleach Bypass! You did a fantastic job with that filter! I agree aout the lower leaf but this is a beauty! Happy Holidays to you and your family Dave!
Dave, beautiful composition! Love the hk bg and the colors. Great look effect... TFS. Merry Christmas to you too!
Dave, I love the Bleach Bypass on this! It's beautifully done

Would agree on all the comments, beautifully presented flower, love the bleach bypass, miss the tip of the lower leaf. All in all a lovely image. All the best for Christmas and the New Year.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Guess I'd better take a better look through the viewfinder next timeThe processing was a blast though.
Beautiful image! I love the process.
