Rose

Here is my version of this weeks theme... this one is from the Rose Garden in Portland, OR. For processing, I used adjustment layers for saturation, curves and selective colors. Then used a light layer of fract with changed opacity and selective sharpening. Hope you like it...

Very nice image and application, Indranil.

I might have added a little more border to the bottom and sides, but nice as is.

Beautiful image, Indranil. I agree with Mark about a tiny bit more room on the bottom. Very nice subtle combo of frac and other processing. Well done!

[Brendan Dozier]

Wonderful light, color, and processing on this, Indranil. Like how the edges of petals are highlighted. Agree on a bit more room on bottom. Nice work!

[Anita Bower]

This definitely fits the week's theme! Lovely pink color. I especially like the edges of the petals--beautiful curves. I wonder if lightening up the center would keep my eye from going there. I used Viveza to brighten and add structure to the center. Just an idea.

Indranil, Very nice image for the theme. I like the filtering. I agree w/ the tightness on the bottom. I'm thinking somewhere in between the two posts for me. Nice job!.

Late to the party, Indranil..and there are some good suggestions already given, particularly about allowing for a little more breathing room. Beautiful filtering...I like Anita's idea...and agree with Denise, somewhere between the OP and the repost.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Very lovely rose and filtering Indranil. I too like Anita's suggestion for lightening the center a little bit.

[Indranil Sircar]

Thank you folks. I appreciate it.

Anita, I like what you did with Viveza.

Here is a repost with bit more space at the bottom...
